Pune, a city in Maharashtra, has finally received rainfall today in various areas including Katraj, Karve Nagar, Kondhwa, Sinhgad Road, Chandni Chowk, Baner, Balewadi, Senapati Bapat Road, and others. After a prolonged wait, the showers have brought relief to the residents.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), heavy rain is expected in Maharashtra today and tomorrow. In Vidarbha, some parts of the region witnessed the arrival of the monsoon yesterday. Moreover, a few districts in West Vidarbha and Mumbai experienced scattered light showers on Friday morning.
Although June is coming to an end, several areas in the state have been eagerly awaiting rainfall. However, the weather conditions are gradually becoming favorable for the southwest monsoon to progress in specific regions.
The delayed monsoon has posed significant challenges for farmers in the state. They have been grappling with the adverse effects of the prolonged dry spell. The agricultural sector, in particular, has been facing a severe crisis due to the lack of water for irrigation. The arrival of rainfall is a much-needed respite for the farming community.
Over the next four days, the state is expected to receive varying intensities of rainfall, ranging from heavy to light, accompanied by thundershowers. Mumbai, in particular, is likely to witness heavy rain. This precipitation will help replenish water resources, provide relief from the scorching heat, and contribute to the overall well-being of the region.
