A yellow alert has been issued across Maharashtra from August 17 to 21, warning of rain accompanied by thunderstorms. Meteorological predictions indicate the formation of a low-pressure area over the west-central Bay of Bengal by August 19. This system is expected to move west-northwest, affecting Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh.
Additionally, a weather disturbance is likely to develop over North Konkan and extend up to the Comorin region, leading to intensified cyclonic activity along the Arabian Sea coastline and impacting Goa and the South Konkan coast.
As a result, the state may experience thunderstorms with light to moderate rainfall.
In Pune City, rainfall is expected to intensify from August 18 to 21. The weather will be partly cloudy, with occasional sunshine during the day, but there is a likelihood of moderate rain accompanied by thunderstorms in the afternoon. Some periods of heavy rainfall are also possible.
In the Ghats, stronger winds, more intense rain, and thunderstorms are anticipated. Residents are advised to avoid standing in open areas or under trees during lightning.
