Heavy Pre-Monsoon Rains in Nashik Cause Power Outages and Traffic DisruptionsPreviousNext

Nashik experienced heavy pre-monsoon rains accompanied by gusty winds on June 2, providing relief from recent heat but causing widespread disruptions. The downpour led to traffic congestion due to muddy roads from ongoing excavation, power outages affecting over half the city, and water supply interruptions linked to pump failures. Gusty winds uprooted trees and caused minor damage, including injuries from collapsing structures. Authorities have urged residents to stay vigilant as unstable weather is expected to continue in the region.
