PANAJI
The unusually sultry weather in the State has caught citizens unawares even as skies remained mainly overcast on Thursday.
The Met department forecast light to moderate rain/thundershowers at isolated places in the State on March 28, but predicted dry weather in the next four days.
For the capital city, the maximum weather recorded was 33°C, while the minimum weather recorded was 26°C with around a 1°C deviation from normal.
Meanwhile, partly cloudy skies are forecast for Panaji and neighbouring towns most notably Mourmugao, valid until the morning of March 30. Maximum and minimum temperatures are likely to be around 34°C and 26°C
respectively.
A city writer told “The Goan”, “The weather’s very weird. First it was hot, then humid...one doesn’t really know what to expect.”
A photographer who travels daily to Panaji to work said, “It was so hot in the morning, but it got cloudy in the afternoon. I thought it was going to rain. But in the end, it didn’t really rain. Confusing weather.”
Meanwhile, other city-dwellers gave us the expected response for the season. “It’s too hot. It’s boiling hot. One can’t even think of heading
out for long,”.
