As per Skymet Weather, these weather conditions can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation which is seen persisting over northern parts of Madhya Maharashtra region and adjoining Konkan area. Also, an offshore trough is seen extending from South Konkan up to Kerala. Moreover, an east-west trough can be marked from North Konkan up to Odisha coast across central parts of the country touching North Maharashtra.
Moreover, due to these weather systems, moderate rains with isolated heavy spells will continue to lash several districts of the state for the next 24 hours. In fact, moderate showers are likely over North Konkan region including Mumbai during the similar time period. On the other hand, light to moderate showers will continue over Marathwada, Vidarbha and Madhya Maharashtra region.
