The weather forecasting department head, Medha Khole, reported that all four subdivisions of Maharashtra are currently experiencing dry conditions, which are expected to persist until August 22, with low chances for significant monsoon revival. The prevailing weather systems are oriented in a way that limits rainfall, compounded by a lack of offshore troughs and weak pressure gradients that diminish monsoon winds and moisture from the Arabian Sea.
Although the Extended Range Forecast (ERF) predicts an increase in rainfall activity after August 22, it will not be dramatic, with only isolated light rain expected.
