The reason for such good rains can be attributed to a cyclonic circulation which is seen persisting over east central Arabian Sea of Konkan Coast. An upper air trough is also seen extending from this system up to southwest Bay of Bengal.
Due to the presence of these weather systems, light to moderate rain and thundershower activities are expected to continue over the coastal areas of Maharashtra and South Madhya Maharashtra region during the next 24 hours.
Districts such as Pune, Kolhapur, Nashik, Aurangabad, Satara, Sangli, Thane, Beed and Vengurla will witness good rains during the similar time frame.
Thereafter, the intensity of these rains is likely to reduce gradually as the above-mentioned cyclonic circulation is expected to weaken. In addition to this, dry and warm winds are also likely to prevail over most parts of Maharashtra after 24 hours.
Likewise, places such as Akola, Washim, Amaravati, Wardha, Nagpur, Gondia, Parbhani, Latur and Chandrapur will reel under dry and warm weather conditions for the next few days.
Due to the weakening of the weather system, day temperatures are expected to rise significantly while the nights will continue to remain cool and pleasant. Moreover, the clouding over the state will also increase during this period.
