  "account": "In Nashik, October has arrived with record-breaking heat, as the maximum temperature surged to 35.1°C on October 2. This marks one of the hottest days in recent months, with temperatures rising by 5.8°C within just seven days, from 29.3°C on September 25 to the current scorching level. The temperature on October 2 was also notably higher than the 28.7°C recorded on the same day last year, and already surpasses Nashik's highest October temperature from last year, which was 33°C on October 13.\n\nThe temperature increase has been steady but notable since mid-September, with the maximum temperature climbing from 25.3°C on September 13 to 35.1°C on October 2. This steep rise, from a low of 29.3°C on September 25 to the current 35.1°C, can be attributed to the dry conditions following the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon. In Nashik, rainfall between September 1 and 27 amounted to a mere 50.3 mm, falling significantly short of the normal 165.2 mm, resulting in a rainfall deficit of approximately 69.6%.\n\nClear skies and minimal rainfall have contributed to daytime temperatures remaining in the 34–35°C range over the upcoming days. Nashik's historical records indicate that the all-time October maximum temperature stands at 37.2°C, recorded on October 12, 1982. With the current reading of 35.1°C, Nashik joins a list of cities that have experienced high October temperatures in recent years.",
