Several districts in Maharashtra, including Raigad and Ratnagiri, are under orange alert.

The downpour is expected to intensify, potentially leading to waterlogging, traffic disruptions, and localized flooding.

Emergency services are on standby across affected regions. As monsoon gains strength, residents should remain vigilant and keep weather apps and alerts handy for timely updates.

Stay safe, Maharashtra!
