The IMD has issued yellow and orange alerts for several regions in Maharashtra, including Mumbai, Pune, and parts of Vidarbha, amid unseasonal rainfall.

These alerts indicate the possibility of moderate to heavy showers accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds.

The sudden change in weather is attributed to a western disturbance interacting with local systems.

Farmers are urged to take precautions to protect crops, especially in central and eastern Maharashtra.

Urban residents should brace for waterlogging and traffic disruptions. Our users are advised to stay updated through severe weather alerts and avoid unnecessary travel during severe weather.
