An orange alert has been issued for the Konkan region and the Ghat areas, with specific warnings for Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Pune Ghats, where intense rainfall activity is expected. Residents in these areas have been advised to stay alert and take necessary precautions due to the possibility of waterlogging and disruptions in transportation.

Meanwhile, Sindhudurg district has also been placed under a yellow alert for rainfall today. While some parts of the district received light rain yesterday, the weather has remained cloudy since morning, indicating the potential for heavy showers, particularly in areas along the Sahyadri mountain range.
