The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported a forecast indicating a slight decrease in rainfall intensity across Maharashtra, particularly in districts like Pune, Satara, and Kolhapur, where moderate rain is expected over the next few days. However, heavy to very heavy rainfall is anticipated to return from August 1, especially in the ghat regions, following recent severe flooding that led to evacuations and fatalities in Pune. Local authorities have highlighted communication gaps in disaster management related to water discharge from dams, which exacerbated the flooding situation. While some districts remain under alerts for heavy rainfall, farmers express concern over the need for more substantial rains to support crop growth and reservoir levels. Rescue operations continue in affected areas, with authorities urging residents to stay informed about weather updates and take precautions due to ongoing severe weather conditions. The situation remains critical, especially in regions that have already faced significant impacts from the relentless monsoon rains.
