According to the latest weather update by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, parts of Maharashtra, Telangana and interiors of Karnataka, which received very light showers (1 mm to 5 mm on an  average) in the last 48 hours, have seen an increase in rain since yesterday.

Other than Maharashtra and Telangana, adjoining regions of Chhattisgarh and Odisha also witnessed rain, with Jagdalpur ( 7 mm) and Bhuvaneshwar (0.2) recording some rain.
“Fairly widespread rain/thundershowers, cloudy weather and possibilities of hail are expected to continue in Maharashtra and north Telangana till late afternoon of 12thMarch.
