Maharashtra Weather: Cyclonic ‘Senyar’ Likely to Bring Light Rain in Konkan and Western Maharashtra on Nov 23–24
A shift in Maharashtra weather patterns is expected as a cyclonic system is developing in the southwest Bay of Bengal, likely to strengthen into Cyclonic Storm Senyar around November 25 or 26. A low-pressure area is already forming and may intensify into a depression by November 24, influencing parts of south and coastal Maharashtra.
