IMD Issues Heavy Rainfall Warning for Maharashtra and Gujarat
IN · Published Sep 14, 2026
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued heavy rainfall warnings for Maharashtra and Gujarat due to a deep low-pressure system moving west-northwestward.
Mumbai, Thane, Pune ghats, and Saurashtra-Kutch are experiencing intense precipitation, squalls, and waterlogging risks.

Impact & Risks

Heavy rainfall is causing waterlogging, flooding, and landslide risks in Maharashtra's ghat regions and urban areas like Mumbai and Thane. Coastal residents face high astronomical tides exceeding 4.4 metres, while squalls up to 50 km/h are affecting transportation and safety. In Gujarat, urban areas such as Jamnagar and Rajkot are experiencing severe waterlogging, and fishermen are advised to avoid the northeast Arabian Sea due to rough conditions. Agricultural areas in Marathwada and Vidarbha are benefiting from the rainfall, improving soil moisture for crops.
