Over the last two years, the monsoon in Maharashtra was prolonged due to storms in the Arabian Sea. However, the meteorological department said that no such sign was seen at present for 2021. Keeping this in mind, if the monsoon arrives on time in Kerala, it is expected to arrive in Maharashtra on time too.
Meanwhile, the city of Mumbai was expected to experience moderate rainfall on May 6, 2021. The Regional Meteorological Centre in Mumbai took to Twitter and said, "Thunderstorms along with lightning, gusty winds & moderate to intense spells of rain very likely to occur at isolated places in the districts over Satara, Sangli, Pune, Ahmednagar, Dhule, Nandurbar and Osmanabad during next 3-4 hours."
