Maharashtra Rainfall Warnings

Beyond Mumbai, several districts in Maharashtra are under weather alerts. Pune, Thane, Raigad, Satara, Jalna and Aurangabad face an orange alert, while Nashik, Latur, Palghar, Nagpur and Chandrapur are under a yellow alert. The Regional Meteorological Department’s nowcast shows a yellow ‘watch’ for Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Nashik, Satara and Kolhapur.

Maharashtra: Thunderstorms And Strong Winds Expected

Light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms is likely in Marathwada and North Madhya Maharashtra. Konkan-Goa and South Madhya Maharashtra are also expected to see rain at most places. Squally winds with speeds of 45–55 kmph, gusting up to 65 kmph, are expected to continue in these areas.

Maharashtra Weather: Cyclonic Circulation Driving Rain

Officials have linked the persistent rainfall to a cyclonic circulation over Vidarbha and nearby regions at mid and upper levels. The movement of this system towards the north-west has contributed to heavy rain in the Konkan region.
