Possibility of thunderstorms and rain in many parts of Maharashtra today; IMD issues 'Yellow Alert'
Mumbai, June 28, 2026: Although the rainfall had paused in some areas following the monsoon's arrival in the state, the Meteorological Department has issued a 'Yellow Alert' for thunderstorms and rain across most districts today (Sunday). Rain accompanied by thunderstorms is forecast for several districts in Mumbai, Pune, Konkan, Marathwada, and Vidarbha.
Following the monsoon's onset, heavy rainfall was recorded in many parts of the state, including Mumbai and Konkan. However, over the last day or two, there has been a lull in rainfall across most regions. Concerns have risen among citizens as the rainfall in June has been 59% below average. Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has predicted an increase in rainfall intensity between July 1 and July 4, particularly along the Konkan coast. Rainfall is expected to be more intense in the southern Konkan region.
Where is the 'Yellow Alert' today?
The Meteorological Department has issued a 'Yellow Alert' for the following districts:
Konkan: Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri, Raigad, Mumbai, Thane, Palghar
Western Maharashtra: Nashik Ghat region, Pune and Pune Ghat region, Satara and Satara Ghat region, Kolhapur and Kolhapur Ghat region
Marathwada: Ahilyanagar, Beed, Dharashiv, Latur, Nanded, Parbhani, Jalna, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Vidarbha: Buldhana, Washim, Akola, Yavatmal, Amravati, Wardha, Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, Bhandara, Gondia
