The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has issued an orange alert for Nagpur, Bhandara, and Gondia, warning of heavy rainfall on Tuesday, July 1. The alert indicates possible disruptions in these East Vidarbha districts, which have so far received less rain this monsoon compared to areas in Western Vidarbha.
The RMC has warned that heavy rain in these districts could lead to waterlogging, traffic delays, and affect farming. While Western Vidarbha has recently seen heavy to very heavy rainfall—causing crop damage and rising river levels—East Vidarbha, including Nagpur, has only received light showers so far.
On Saturday, Gondia recorded 43.4 mm of rain, Bhandara 19 mm, and Yavatmal 17 mm, while other districts received little or no rainfall. The short break from rain caused temperatures and humidity to rise, making the weather feel hot and sticky across the region.
The RMC has predicted a two-day dry spell in Vidarbha starting Sunday, giving temporary relief to areas affected by recent heavy rains. This break will help local authorities fix drainage issues and prepare for more rain.
However, monsoon activity is expected to pick up again from July 1, especially in East Vidarbha, with Nagpur, Bhandara, and Gondia likely to receive heavy downpours.
