The impact is expected to be strongest in the Vidarbha region, where the IMD has issued an Orange Alert for Yavatmal and Chandrapur, warning of heavy rainfall and storm activity.
A Yellow Alert has also been declared for districts including Akola, Amravati, Bhandara, Gondia, Nagpur and Washim.
Rain Likely In Western Maharashtra And Marathwada
Apart from Vidarbha, rain activity is also expected in parts of Western Maharashtra and Marathwada. Districts such as Kolhapur, Sangli and Solapur are likely to witness thunderstorms and rain showers.
In the Marathwada region, rainfall has been forecast for Nanded, Latur and Dharashiv.
Humid Conditions To Continue In Mumbai, Konkan
While several districts are expected to receive rainfall, weather officials said humid and warm conditions are likely to continue in Mumbai and parts of the North Konkan region.
Authorities have advised citizens, especially in Vidarbha, to remain cautious during thunderstorms and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain and lightning activity.
