The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a weather bulletin predicting scattered rainfall across Maharashtra until October 7, while Kerala is expected to receive intense precipitation.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather bulletin on Thursday, outlining a pattern of scattered rainfall across Maharashtra that is expected to continue until October 7. The forecast indicates that the monsoon front will linger over the western state, bringing sporadic showers that could affect local agriculture and transport.
In Maharashtra, the bulletin highlights that rainfall will be uneven, with some districts receiving moderate precipitation while others may see little to none. The uneven distribution is likely to impact irrigation schedules and could lead to localized flooding in low‑lying areas.
Meanwhile, the bulletin warns that Kerala will experience a significant increase in rainfall, with the state likely to see heavy showers that could lead to waterlogging and landslides in hilly regions. Residents in coastal districts are advised to stay alert to sudden weather changes.
Authorities in both states have urged farmers to prepare for potential waterlogging and advised commuters to check road conditions before traveling. The IMD will continue to monitor the situation and issue updates as the monsoon progresses.
