The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted light to moderate rainfall over Konkan, Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, and Marathwada from November 23 to November 27.
A senior IMD official attributed this weather pattern to the influence of strong easterly winds. Mumbai and its surrounding districts fall within the Konkan administrative division.
Anupam Kashyap, head of the weather forecasting division of IMD Pune, stated, “Due to strong easterly waves, rains are highly likely to occur over Konkan, Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, and Marathwada. Light to moderate rains may occur in these areas from November 23 to 27.”
Pune, located in western Maharashtra, is expected to experience very light to moderate showers accompanied by thunder between November 24 and 27.
According to the IMD bulletin, Mumbai will have mainly clear skies, with maximum and minimum temperatures hovering around 35 degrees Celsius and 24 degrees Celsius, respectively.
