According to Skymet Weather, a development of low pressure area is seen over Northwest Bay of Bengal off Odisha Coast. Due to this, Vidarbha and Marathwada will also receive moderate to heavy rains with one or two very heavy spells during the next three to four days. Scattered rains and thundershowers cannot be ruled out over Madhya Maharashtra region.
During the next 24 to 48 hours, Pune, Aurangabad, Kolhapur and Satara are likely to receive light rains. The weather conditions will remain conducive for rains to continue over entire Maharashtra.
