The India Meteorological Department has predicted light to moderate rain in 13 districts of Maharashtra on October 1, including Palghar, Thane, Mumbai, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Nashik, Ahmednagar, Pune, Kolhapur, Satara, Sangli, and Solapur.
Most districts in Marathwada and Vidarbha, including Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna, Beed, Dharashiv, Latur, Parbhani, Hingoli, and Nanded, are expected to experience dry weather with a relatively low probability of rain. Residents in these areas are more likely to feel heat and humidity.
As the monsoon withdrawal process has begun in the state, the intensity of rain is expected to gradually decrease in the coming days. The IMD forecast indicates that the alert status will diminish starting October 1, though active local systems could still cause sudden showers.
