Farmers in Maharashtra urged to pause sowing until June 10

IMD forecasts light rain for Maharashtra

IMD forecasts light rain, thunderstorms, and cooler temperatures across parts of the state this week, but eastern Vidarbha might still hit highs over 40 degrees Celsius.
Disaster management teams are keeping an eye on things, especially in Pune where flood defenses are being strengthened along the Mutha River.

The agriculture department also reminds everyone to stay safe during storms: avoid standing under trees or near electrical equipment to reduce lightning risks.
