Heavy to extremely heavy rain and thundershowers are occurring over most parts of Coastal Maharashtra including Mumbai, wherein Monsoon has arrived over Pune. These rains can be credited to the off-shore trough that is running from Konkan and Goa to Kerala coast.
In fact few good spells were also observed over South Madhya Maharashtra; however Pune and attached areas remained more or less dry with rare light spells.
Now that Southwest Monsoon has arrived over Pune and adjoining areas including Mumbai, rainfall will continue over the region.
However, Skymet Weather predicts rains to pick up pace however just marginally by June 14.
