Due to which there is no possibility of departure of monsoon in Pune and Mumbai before October 10-12. Monsoon usually returns from Maharashtra around 5 October.
IMD scientist SD Sanap said Maharashtra will receive good rainfall from September 26 due to the formation of a low pressure area over the Bay of Bengal and the possibility of it moving towards the northwest. Maharashtra and Goa are likely to receive heavy rain till September 28.
