In Maharashtra, the IMD forecasts isolated to scattered rainfall across the Konkan region, Goa, central Maharashtra, and Marathwada until November 5. Additionally, Gujarat is expected to experience similar weather patterns until November 3. The forecast also warns of isolated thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds, with speeds reaching 40-50 km/h and gusting up to 60 km/h, particularly in the Konkan and Goa regions on November 2 and 3, and in Madhya Maharashtra from November 1 to 4.
The weather changes are not limited to Maharashtra.
