Maharashtra Weather Update: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday stated that several districts of Maharashtra, including Mumbai and Pune, are likely to witness light to heavy rainfall for the next few days. The weather department stated that along with heavy rainfall, these regions are also set to receive thunderstorms and gusty winds. While the continuous rainfall is expected to provide relief from the heat by reducing the temperature by two to four degrees Celsius, it is also likely to lead to issues like waterlogging and power outages. The weather department has advised the residents to follow the guidelines and limit their outings to avoid any inconveniences.
