Rain-bearing clouds have engulfed not just Nagpur but the entire Vidarbha region, prompting alerts for several other districts as well. Bhandara, Gondia, Chandrapur, and Gadchiroli have also been placed under Orange Alert for the same two-day period.
With the monsoon gaining momentum, Brahmapuri recorded the highest rainfall in the last 36 hours at 92.6 mm, followed by Wardha with 85 mm and Chandrapur with 72 mm. Other areas also saw significant showers, including Yavatmal (30.4 mm), Gadchiroli (16 mm), Amravati (12 mm), and Akola (11.8 mm).
