The minimum temperatures are expected to rise across the country starting next fortnight, the weather official said on Thursday. According to the reports, some parts of extreme southern peninsula and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands may recieve more rain than usual.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted that there is going to be dry weather for the next two weeks in the remaining parts of the country on most days of the week. There is likely to be a gradual rise in minimum temperatures in many parts of India from February 24 to March 2. According to the meteorological department, multiple broad scale features, sea conditions, and model guidance indicate that cyclogenesis is unlikely across the North Indian Ocean during the next two weeks.
