The monsoon's advancement in Maharashtra has remained stalled for several days due to unfavourable atmospheric conditions according to India Meteorological Department (IMD). The Southwest Monsoon, which entered South Konkan and adjoining parts of South Madhya Maharashtra on June 8, has failed to make significant progress over the rest of the state, reported IANS.
According to the Regional Meteorological Centre in Mumbai, the Northern Limit of Monsoon (NLM) currently passes through Harnai, Solapur, Hyderabad, Bhadrachalam, Koraput, Phulbani, Ranchi, Jamui and Muzaffr, indicating that although some southern parts of Maharashtra received early monsoon showers, many regions are still waiting for the season's full arrival.
