In the four days leading up to July 31, moderate rainfall is anticipated in Marathwada, Nashik, Ahmednagar, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, Solapur, and Pune. Meteorologist Manikrao Khule has indicated that heavy rains are expected to begin from August 1.

Concern: Rain volatility has increased.
Rising temperatures have increased and rainfall instability has increased over more than 75 percent of the Earth's area. That's why sudden thunderstorms and severe droughts have become more common.
