Regional Meteorological Department head, M L Sahu told Nagpur Today that there are two to three factors which makes Vidarbha one of the hottest regions of India. One of the main reasons is Vidarbha’s geographical location. The region is located at an altitude where the sun rays hit the region directly.
Other than this, Vidarbha is a plain area, so as compared to other places, the region gets hotter than the other surfaces due to direct sun rays, Sahu said.
