Coastal districts of Maharashtra are likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall on Friday as a possible cyclonic storm brews in the Arabian Sea. The India Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for several areas in western India till next week while other parts of the country continue to face severe wave conditions. The IMD also issued a clarification on Thursday to debunk claims that a cyclone was developing near the Odisha-West Bengal coast.
Increasing rainfall activity will be driven by the low-pressure system over the East Central Arabian Sea off the North Karnataka-Goa coasts, which is likely to intensify into a depression and bring intense rainfall across the Konkan coast and other parts of Maharashtra. While no cyclone has formed yet, the developing depression could potentially evolve into a cyclonic storm depending on the atmospheric and oceanic conditions in the coming days.
