The dry weather of last few days has made the rainfall for Marathwada region fall to a deficit of -26%. This has happened even after the above normal rainfall in the first 12 days of June.
The cyclonic circulation that is brewing over Bay of Bengal is moving closer to Marathwada and is expected to give good spell of rains for 2-3 days over the region. It is very much hopefully that this system will provide some good rains between June 18 and June 20.
