As part of its weather warnings, the IMD has also issued a red alert for Raigad, where heavy to very heavy rainfall is forecasted at multiple locations, with isolated areas potentially experiencing extremely heavy rainfall. This heightened alert underscores the seriousness of the weather conditions expected to impact the region.
