The yellow alert was issued by IMD because of a low-pressure area formation over east central Arabian Sea off Maharashtra coast. The rainfall is likely to continue on Thursday too as per the IMD Forecast.
The IMD stated, "It was forecasted that the low-pressure area formation system will very likely interact with an approaching western disturbance. Under the influence of these weather systems, a wet spell was expected over parts of Maharashtra during from November 30 to December 22, 2021 with reduction thereafter."
