The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of heavy rainfall in parts of Maharashtra, including Pune, due to the active Arabian Sea branch of the monsoon. Citizens are advised to avoid ghat areas and take precautions while travelling. Marathwada and Vidarbha are experiencing a large rainfall deficiency, with Maharashtra state currently at a 38% rainfall deficiency. The IMD has forecasted good rainfall in July, which is expected to help reduce the deficiency.
