Monsoon to maintain strength till Oct 10

The monsoon in Maharashtra is expected to continue until at least October 10, causing a delay in the withdrawal of the monsoon season. The extended range forecast indicates above-normal rainfall in the state, including Pune, during the last week of September and the first week of October. A cyclonic circulation over the Andaman Sea could further contribute to increased rainfall. The Pune city fire brigade received several calls for tree falling and reports of waterlogging in various areas due to heavy rainfall.
