The weather has changed as Diwali approaches. November is almost here, but it still feels warm during the day.
Although it gets cooler at night, the bright sun remains.
However, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that the festival of Diwali might be affected because rain is expected in several states.
Rain Alerts Across Several States
In Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Odisha, the weather is expected to be clear. But heavy rain is likely in the coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh.
An upper-air cyclone has formed over many coastal regions of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, prompting the IMD to issue a warning.
