Forecasters have predicted heavy to extremely heavy rainfall in some parts, accompanied by thunder and lightning. This weather event follows a series of continuous downpours that caused waterlogging and disrupted daily life in the metropolitan area.
Meanwhile, Raigad district is facing a more severe threat, as the IMD has placed it under a red alert. This means that the region is likely to experience extremely heavy downpour, potentially leading to flooding, landslides, and significant disruptions. Authorities have advised residents to stay alert and avoid unnecessary travel. Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, and Palghar districts, all situated along Maharashtra’s coast, are also under orange alerts, indicating the high possibility of hazardous weather.
Perhaps maharashtra is expected to experience widespread rainfall until september 26, with the IMD predicting continuous downpour in several parts of the state. Central maharashtra, in particular, is likely to see extremely heavy rains today, raising concerns for residents and local authorities. Meanwhile, Marathwada and Vidarbha regions are also expected to experience varying levels of rainfall. Marathwada is likely to see sporadic but heavy showers, while Vidarbha could witness heavy to extremely heavy rains in isolated parts. The consistent rainfall is a result of the active monsoon, which has started withdrawing from parts of gujarat and rajasthan but remains potent over Maharashtra.
