The Meteorological Department has predicted rain in the state in the first week of the new year. IMD has expressed the possibility of rain in some districts of Konkan, Central Maharashtra and Vidarbha.
Vidarbha will remain cloudy
For the next few days, Amravati, Nagpur, Bhandara, Gondia and Gadchiroli districts of Vidarbha may remain partly cloudy during the week of January 1 to 7. The Meteorological Department has said that there is a possibility of light rain at isolated places in these districts.
Impact of Western Disturbance on climate
Due to the formation of low pressure area over the south-east of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, the direction of the winds is currently towards north-west, which is becoming stronger day by day. Therefore, in the next few hours, these winds will turn into a low pressure belt and there is a possibility of sporadic rain in some parts of the state including the Konkan belt. Due to western disturbance, the weather of the country as well as the state will be affected.
