Humidity is expected to increase at night and early morning in coastal areas. The sea will remain calm with two to four feet high waves offshore.
The maximum temperature is in the range of 40 degree Celsius and the minimum is around 28 degree Celsius in almost all the major cities. Humidity is between 25 to 85 per cent.
