Specifically, on Saturday, August 24, districts like Nashik, Nandurbar, Dhule, Jalgaon, Pune, Satara, Kolhapur, Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Amravati, Nagpur, Bhandara, Gondia, Chandrapur, and Gadchiroli are likely to experience rain. On Sunday, August 25, heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms is expected in these regions, particularly in the afternoon. From Monday, August 26, to Friday, August 30, a rise in temperatures is anticipated, with hotter days returning to Maharashtra.

September Weather Outlook
Looking ahead, Manikrao Khule predicts moderate rainfall in Maharashtra from August 31 to September 5. There is also a possibility of heavy rain in regions like Vidarbha, Khandesh, Nashik, and Mumbai during this period. September is typically a month with longer, warmer days. However, it is expected to have 10 to 12 rainy days, particularly in Mumbai and Konkan, with 5 to 7 rainy days in other regions like Pune, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, and Solapur. Rain is anticipated between September 1-5, 12-16, and 25-29, which could lead to overflowing dams, rushing rivers, and a rise in groundwater levels.
