Nashik Weather Today

Meanwhile, the Nashik district in Maharashtra is facing a severe flooding, with floodwaters spreading extensively across the Goda Ghat region, causing substantial damage to both life and property. The persistent heavy rainfall over the past two days has led to a rise in the Godavari River's water levels, heightening concerns among residents and officials.

The escalating water levels in the Godavari River are exacerbating the flood situation, submerging not only Goda Ghat but also several surrounding areas. This severe inundation has disrupted road traffic, making it challenging for residents to leave their homes, as many roads and bridges are completely underwater, creating substantial difficulties for emergency services and worsening the overall crisis.
