These weather conditions can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation which is seen persisting over Telangana and adjoining area. Further, it is likely to move towards north.

Also, a trough is seen extending from this system up to east central Arabian Sea. Another trough is seen extending from South Konkan up to Kerala Coast.

Due to the effect of these prevailing weather systems over the state, the rainfall activity is likely to continue along the coastal parts of the state, South Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada region.

With this, moderate rains with isolated heavy showers are expected to occur over these regions during the next 24 to 48 hours. Moreover, Vidarbha and adjoining areas are likely to witness light to moderate rains during the similar time frame.
