PUNE: Rainfall activity in some parts of the state may lessen in the next 24 hours. Though it has reduced in the past 24 hours, heavy rain possibility for Konkan and Madhya Maharashtra has not been ruled out till Tuesday.
Met department officials said the western end of the monsoon trough will shift to the Himalayan foothills in the next 24 hours and the eastern end to the northeastern parts of the country in 48 hours, which will reduce rain in the state.

Anupam Kashyapi, head of weather, India Meteorological Department (IMD) Pune told TOI that rains will reduce further from Tuesday. Extremely heavy rain and very heavy rain warnings are likely to go in case of Maharashtra.
"Rains have already reduced in parts of the state, including Vidarbha, where stations have recorded double digit and moderate rains from Sunday to Monday morning," he said.
In Konkan, only one location, Lanja in Ratnagiri recorded triple digit rains, while in Madhya Maharashtra only Mahabaleshwar recorded more than 100mm in the 24 hours from 8.30am on Sunday.
Kashyapi said the monsoon low from the Bay of Bengal has shifted over northeast Madhya Pradesh and neighbourhood.
"The monsoon trough also shifted northward and now passes through Ganganagar, Karnal, Etawah, the centre of low pressure area over northeast MP and neighbourhood, Daltonganj, Bankura, Diamond Harbour and to northeast Bay of Bengal. The off-shore trough is not strong. The sheer zone has shifted northwards. Hence, the state will get reduced rainfall ," he said.
Kashyapi said wind speeds from the Arabian Sea may come down to about 30kmph in two to three days which will reduce moisture incursion and rainfall activity in the state.
