According to officials, monsoon winds have intensified over the Arabian Sea, which will likely cause widespread rainfall across Konkan, Vidarbha, and Marathwada regions over the next four days. A low-pressure area is also forming over the Bay of Bengal due to a cyclonic circulation, further boosting rainfall activity in the region.
The IMD has advised residents and local administrations in alert zones to take necessary precautions.
