Amid the intense pre-monsoon showers in Maharashtra and Goa, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has been regularly issuing warnings and alerts.
As per the latest reports from the weather authorities, there is an update on the well-marked low-pressure area over the Arabian Sea at 05:30 am IST on May 23, 2025. The well-marked low-pressure area is located over the East-central Arabian Sea off the South Goa-Konkan coasts. Furthermore, the low-pressure area is expected to move northwards and intensify into a depression around the evening of May 23. This activity of low-pressure area developments and its movement towards the north can potentially lead to heavy to very heavy rainfall along the west coast, including Konkan, Goa, and Karnataka.
While addressing the weather situation, IMD said that the low-pressure area has been observed moving northwards and can intensify into a depression within the next 36 hours. Following this information from the India Meteorological Department, orange and yellow alerts have been issued for coastal Maharashtra districts, including south Konkan, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg.
Furthermore, fishermen in these regions have also been advised not to venture into the East-central and Southeast Arabian Sea and along and off the Kerala, Karnataka, Konkan, Goa, adjoining South Gujarat coasts and Lakshadweep area between May 21 and May 26.
The cyclonic circulation emerging over the east-central Arabian Sea along the coast of Karnataka is expected to deepen into a low-pressure system. A combination of low-pressure systems, thunderstorms, and strong winds has prompted authorities to warn residents and tourists to exercise extreme caution in the coming days.
Also, weather systems are also active over Punjab and the surrounding area, where another upper-air cyclonic circulation exists at lower levels.
