In contrast, Maharashtra has seen a decrease in rainfall intensity despite similar warnings of heavy rain in some parts over the last 24 hours. The state’s weather remains inconsistent, with intermittent downpours in some regions and sunny spells in others. The next 24 hours are expected to bring more of the same, particularly in Mumbai, Thane, and Palghar, where light rain and occasional sunshine are forecasted. Meanwhile, Vidarbha is likely to experience heavy rains, and the western part of the state, especially the hilly areas, is expected to see a strong monsoon presence.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated that isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is possible in north Konkan, central Maharashtra’s ghats, and parts of south Konkan over the coming days. However, the overall rainfall pattern in Maharashtra may depend on the further development of the low-pressure area in Gujarat.
Weather experts predict that the current scenario of occasional rain showers interspersed with sunny spells will persist for the next few days. These conditions suggest typical monsoon behavior during this time of year, with rainfall continuing to fluctuate.
Cyclone Alert?
In addition to the low-pressure area in Gujarat potentially intensifying into a cyclone, a weather system from Rajasthan is also advancing towards the Arabian Sea. This system is likely to affect areas in Jharkhand and nearby regions before dissipating over Uttar Pradesh. Furthermore, a new low-pressure area is expected to form over the Bay of Bengal, potentially influencing the eastern parts of India in the coming days.
With such dynamic weather patterns, residents are advised to stay updated on weather alerts and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during these unpredictable conditions.
