IMD Issues Yellow and Orange Alerts for Heavy Rain Across Maharashtra Districts
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued yellow and orange weather alerts across multiple districts in Maharashtra due to increased rainfall linked to a low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal. Heavy rain, thundershowers, and gusty winds are expected in regions including Marathwada, Vidarbha, Konkan, and parts of North and South Maharashtra. While some districts face orange alerts, others have yellow alerts, with forecasts indicating rainfall continuing through late September amid a prolonged dry spell and rainfall deficits in the state.
