Meanwhile, North Konkan region would continue to experience light to moderate showers. However, one or two heavy spells are likely over South Konkan for the next 24 hours.
The reason for these rains, as per Skymet Weather can be attributed to the prevalence of a cyclonic circulation over South Gujarat.
At this stage, let us see the impact of this weather on the agriculture belt of Maharashtra:
Farmers in the Konkan region are advised to give proper support to Cucurbitaceae crops and to apply fertilizer when the intensity of rainfall is low. In Vidarbha, farmers are advised to undertake sowing of Kharif crops in unsown areas upon receipt of sufficient rainfall.
Farmers of Madhya Maharashtra are advised to undertake intercultural operations (weeding/hoeing) in early sown crops for timely control of weeds. Farmers are also advised to drain out excess water from waterlogged crop fields and orchards.
