Maharashtra Weather Forecast: IMD Predicts Light Rain in Several

Mumbai: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted light and unseasonal rain in several parts of Maharashtra due to ongoing weather changes and cyclone-like conditions forming near the southwest coast, southeast sea, and the Bay of Bengal. A cyclonic circulation has also been reported in the southeast Arabian Sea near Kerala, contributing to these weather fluctuations.

According to IMD officials, the temperature across Maharashtra has seen significant variations in recent days. A noticeable drop in temperature has been recorded in many regions, leading to cooler weather accompanied by dense fog in certain areas and an increase in cold intensity elsewhere. At the same time, some locations experienced overcast skies and intermittent rainfall.

Temperature data from the Meteorological Department’s Colaba center in Mumbai showed a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius on Friday, while the Santa Cruz center recorded 32 degrees Celsius. Despite being close to seasonal averages, higher humidity levels caused heatwave-like conditions. In addition to increased humidity, cold winds from the north have led to the formation of hail in various parts of the state.

Rainfall Predictions for Saturday:

• Districts with Light Rain: IMD has forecast light showers in districts including Thane, Nashik, Parbhani, Beed, Ahilyanagar, and Jalna.
• Cloudy Conditions: Most other regions in Maharashtra are expected to witness cloudy weather throughout the day.

These weather changes are attributed to continuous shifts in atmospheric pressure and wind patterns. Farmers and residents are advised to stay updated with local weather reports to prepare for potential rainfall and fluctuating temperatures. Authorities also recommend precautionary measures for managing unseasonal weather impacts on agriculture.

The IMD will continue to monitor and provide regular updates as conditions evolve.
