Post India Meteorological Department (IMD)’s warning on heavy rainfall for the state, the magnitude has taken a slight dip with medium rainfall all over the state. Despite this, the IMD has issued a yellow alert for Maharashtra.

 

According to IMD, a depression in the Bay of Bengal has resulted in heavy rainfall. As per IMD’s official statement, a cyclonic circulation continues to hover over Vidarbha and Marathwada resulting in heavy rainfall in the ghat areas in the upcoming days.

Additionally, the rainfall is likely to fall till September 25 as during that time the pressure area is likely to be lower over the Bay of Bengal. However, it is possible to witness intense spells after that.

 

Concurrently, due to the depression, other states including Rajasthan, Delhi, West Bengal, and Punjab have witnessed heavy rain spells resulting in floods. Delhi is likely to witness moderate rainfall for the day.
