On the morning of October 30, 2025, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert for 12 districts in the state of Maharashtra, including the major cities of Mumbai and Pune. This alert indicates the possibility of light rainfall and thunderstorms in the next three hours.

As a result, light to moderate rain or thunderstorms are "very likely" to occur in various parts of the state throughout the day, with isolated heavy rainfall anticipated in the Konkan, Goa, and Madhya Maharashtra regions.
The districts under the yellow alert are Jalgaon, Dhule, Nashik, Palghar, Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Kolhapur, Sangli, Mumbai City, Mumbai Suburban, and Pune. The weather department has also warned residents about the risks of lightning and strong winds reaching speeds of 30-40 kmph, advising the public to avoid open or waterlogged areas.
