Though the minimum temperature actually rose from 14 degrees Celsius on Thursday to 17.4 degrees Celsius on Friday, Nagpurians found Friday cooler than Thursday. Being the day of ‘Makar Sankranti’, people were in the mood to fly kites.

 

Though enthusiasts found ways and means, and also appropriate locations to fly the kites, many were deprived of the joy in the morning because of rainfall. Besides, the irregular flow of wind created problems for them.
