Earlier on Wednesday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued alerts for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms in multiple Indian states, including Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. A red alert was specifically issued for districts such as Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, Raigad, and Ratnagiri, indicating severe rainfall periods along with winds gusting between 40-50 km/h, possibly reaching up to 60 km/h.
