Heavy Rain Warning for 17 States; Monsoon Wait Continues in Maharashtra
New Delhi: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds (speeding at 40–60 kmph) across several parts of the country. Heavy rain is predicted in 17 states over the coming days, and the administration has been advised to remain alert.
Meanwhile, although the monsoon is becoming active in many parts of the country, its progress in Maharashtra appears to be slower than expected. According to weather experts, weather systems approaching from the west are hindering the monsoon's advance, making widespread rainfall in the state unlikely over the next few days.
However, light to moderate rain accompanied by lightning is likely in parts of Vidarbha, Marathwada, and Central Maharashtra. Rain accompanied by gusty winds and thunderstorms is forecast for some areas. Citizens have been urged to stay cautious regarding lightning strikes and to avoid taking shelter in open fields or under trees.
According to the Meteorological Department's forecast, the monsoon's momentum in Maharashtra may remain sluggish until mid-June. Consequently, the Agriculture Department has advised farmers to make decisions based on upcoming weather forecasts rather than rushing into sowing operations.
Experts anticipate that the monsoon is likely to pick up pace in the latter half of June, leading to increased rainfall across the state thereafter.
