Lightning and Heavy Rain to Sweep Maharashtra; Pune Likely to Be Hit
Maharashtra is set to witness a spell of heavy rain, lightning, and thunderstorms starting tomorrow. Pune is among the cities likely to experience intense showers. Meteorologists attribute this sudden weather shift to a combination of rising temperatures and increased moisture levels, which have created unstable atmospheric conditions, leading to the formation of Cumulonimbus (CB) clouds, particularly in the afternoons.
The rainfall is expected to be brief but intense, with a possibility of hailstorms in early April. These unstable weather conditions are likely to persist for the next few days.
Authorities have issued a warning to avoid taking shelter under trees or remaining in open areas during thunderstorms, as sudden weather changes could bring strong winds and heavy rain.
The recent surge in temperatures, combined with high humidity, has created ideal conditions for the development of CB clouds. These clouds are responsible for localized downpours and stormy weather. While the rainfall may provide relief from the heat, it poses a significant challenge for farmers, particularly those in the midst of harvesting their rabi crops.
Authorities are urging residents to stay updated with weather alerts and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during these unpredictable weather conditions.
