As reiterated by Skymet Weather, some rains finally appeared over the state of Maharashtra. Though the intensity of these showers was light, they were no less than a boon for the entire state, which was reeling under hot weather and soaring mercury levels.
Vidarbha and Marathwada were witnessing above normal temperatures for the last couple of days. However, with the recent rain episode, the mercury levels that were soaring in the higher 30s, finally rested in the lower or mid-30s.

As per Skymet Weather, these rains can be associated with the trough extending from Chhattisgarh to Karnataka across Vidarbha and Marathwada.
Hence, cloudy weather is expected to continue over Vidarbha and Marathwada regions with the possibility of scattered light to moderate rains over both the regions for the next 24 hours. Temperatures may drop further, and the day would become slightly comfortable.
Henceforth, March 17 onward, the weather would start clearing up leading to the prevalence of dry and warm weather again. Further, this would lead to a rise in the temperatures.
Let’s see the impact of this weather on the agriculture belt of Vidarbha and Marathwada:
In view of rainfall & hailstorm, farmers are advised to store the harvested produce and harvest matured fruits like Orange, Mosambi, Grapes, and Pomegranate at a safe place. Farmers are also recommended to take care of Ambe bahar Mango, Pomegranate and Citrus as cloudy weather & rainfall may damage the fruit and inflorescence. If necessary, they should also irrigate summer crops and Orchards.
