On Thursday, September 9, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has informed us that the continual downpour over Maharashtra will continue till the end of this week.

Moreover, earlier on Tuesday and Wednesday, heavy rainfall was recorded across Konkan, Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada. According to reports, the wettest areas till Wednesday were Ratnagiri – 290 mm, Jalgaon and Parbhani – 160 mm, Aurangabad, Beed and Nanded — 130 mm, Raigad and Thane – 120 mm, Latur – 100 mm, Palghar and Harnai – 80 mm and Sindhudurg – 70 mm. Meanwhile, August had ended with five districts — Nandurbar, Gadchiroli, Gondia, Buldhana and Amravati remaining rainfall deficient.

On the other hand, the IMD had earlier predicted a red alert which indicates extremely heavy rainfall at isolated pockets in the Palghar district. In addition, the meteorological body had predicted heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms across Maharashtra over the next four days. This comes a day before the start of the Ganpati festival. Furthermore, on Wednesday, Sindhudurg and Dhule were on Orange alert as well. Continual downpour is expected across the entire Konkan belt up until September 11 due to the formation of a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal which has now moved to over south Chattisgarh.
