Rain in Maharashtra increases, Monsoon inches closer

Monsoon rains have remained subdued over the entire state of Maharashtra except for few areas, since last many days. During the last 24 hours, Konkan & Goa region continued to observe light to moderate Monsoon rains. Moreover, moderate to heavy rains were also witnessed over Vidarbha.

In a span of last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Monday, Chandrapur 45.6 mm, Mumbai 21.9 mm, Nagpur 19.2 mm, Thane 5 mm, Mahabaleshwar 4.4 mm, Alibag and Gondia 3.6 mm, Parbhani 3.4 mm, Ratnagiri 2.9 mm, Harnai 2.4 mm, Wardha 1.9 mm, Nashik 1.7 mm and Osmanabad 1 mm.

These weather conditions can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation prevailing over North Chhattisgarh. Due to its influence, good Monsoon rains have been occurring over Vidarbha and adjoining areas and is likely to continue for the next few days.

In next 24 hours, a formation of a feeble trough over the state is likely as to which, a slight increase in the rainfall activity is expected over Konkan & Goa region. With this, cities such as Nashik, Sangli, Satara and Kolhapur may continue to receive patchy light rains but only for a short period of time.

After a long break, Mumbai is further expected to see with good Monsoon rains. However, the weather of Pune is likely to remain mainly dry but isolated light rains cannot be ruled out.
