Why Is Maharashtra Witnessing Sudden Weather Changes?

According to meteorologists, moisture movement from the Arabian Sea, unstable circulation of atmosphere, and active pre-monsoon weather systems are causing speedy formation of clouds and thunderstorms all over Maharashtra. Moisture laden winds blowing from the Arabian Sea have raised the humidity level all across the coastal areas like Mumbai, Thane, Ratnagiri, Palghar, and Navi Mumbai resulting in humid climate. Simultaneously, strong heat during daytime is aiding in the swift formation of clouds causing thunderstorms in different interior areas like Pune, Nashik, Aurangabad, and Ahmednagar. According to weather scientists, the unstable conditions of atmosphere and continuous cloud movement are increasing the probability of occurrence of isolated rain, lightning, and gusty winds in different parts of the state. Gusty winds caused by thunderstorms will help cool the temperature in different districts in the evening after rains. Some areas might experience sudden change in weather conditions due to active pre-monsoon weather system over western India. Weather forecasters are confident that such unstable conditions will continue to prevail in Maharashtra for the next few days due to active pre-monsoon activity in the Arabian Sea area and coastal regions.

What Is The 15-Day Weather Forecast For Maharashtra?

Meteorologists feel that the state of Maharashtra could experience humid conditions, thunderstorms, clouds, gusty winds, and rainfall activity in the coming days due to strengthening of pre-monsoon weather systems across the western part of India and surrounding regions of the Arabian Sea. As per weather experts, moisture-filled winds blowing from the Arabian Sea region are continuously raising the levels of humidity in districts of coastal areas such as Mumbai, Thane, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, and Palghar. The formation of clouds has been facilitated by such atmospheric conditions, resulting in isolated rainfall and thunderstorms across many parts of Maharashtra. Weather experts have also revealed that warming up of the atmosphere during daytime in combination with unstable atmospheric condition is favoring the development of thunderstorms in inland districts of Maharashtra like Pune, Nashik, Aurangabad, Solapur, and Ahmednagar. Gusty winds that will accompany thunderstorms are expected to offer cooling effect in some parts of Maharashtra during evening hours. Some districts in the state may also experience lightning activity and short bursts of heavy rains due to active pre-monsoon weather systems. Meteorologists expect that rainfall and thunderstorm activity will further increase over the next few days.
