Several parts of Maharashtra saw excess rainfall until the beginning of July that turned into deficit as July approached. With Marathwada witnessing 49% deficit rainfall till date and Konkan & Goa and Madhya Maharashtra following closely, the scare of scanty rainfall during July was looming large. However, amidst the worries of scanty rainfall, all pockets of Maharashtra have received good rainfall with forecast for more in coming days.
According to Skymet Meteorology Division in India, this continuous rainfall for three to four days is also expected to arrest the rainfall deficiency in Madhya Maharashtra (-33%), Vidarbha (-17%), Konkan & Goa (-30%), and Marathwada (-49%), thereby bringing it down gradually as second half of July approaches.

Major cities like Mumbai, Pune, Akola and Nagpur were battling dry weather conditions since the beginning of July, making it highly discomforting for the residents. Farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada regions were also reeling under serious bereavement of rain that has been affecting the sowing of major Kharif crops.
However, in the coming days, Skymet forecast rain and thunder showers in most places in north and south Konkan, a few places in north and south central Maharashtra, west and east Vidarbha, as well as few places in Marathwada. The Monsoon surge which is active over West Coast is likely to bring some more rain over Maharashtra and provide relief from the inclement humid weather.
