✦AI Summary
Maharashtra is experiencing a significant rainfall deficit, with some districts recording 50-70% less precipitation than expected. Meteorologists attribute this trend to a strengthening El Niño, which is suppressing monsoon activity across the Indian subcontinent.
Rainfall in most districts of Maharashtra has remained below the seasonal average since June 1, though parts of Konkan and central Maharashtra recorded precipitation exceeding July’s normal during the previous week.
