On Thursday, India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicated that the start of monsoon’s withdrawal from parts of Maharashtra , including Pune and Mumbai, may be further delayed till next week.

Normally, the exit from the extreme north of Maharashtra starts before October 5. By October 10, the withdrawal covers most parts of Maharashtra, east Madhya Pradesh, north Chhattisgarh, east UP, most parts of Bihar and Jharkhand, and some parts of Odisha and Gangetic West Bengal, and by October 15, it retreats from most parts of the country, including Maharashtra.
This time, the monsoon’s withdrawal has not even started in Maharashtra, with possibility of to remain stalled till October 15 in parts of the state.
IMD’s director general Mrutyunjay Mohapatra told TOI, “We have not predicted any further withdrawal for the time being. We expect some rain in parts of Maharashtra around October 11-12, after which we would be able to say something about when the withdrawal may start from here.”

As of Thursday, withdrawal had stalled after the monsoon exited from locations like Faizabad, Fatehpur, Nowgong, Rajgarh, Ratlam, Vallabh, Vidyanagar and Porbandar.
Anupam Kashyapi, head of weather, IMD Pune told TOI, “Isolated to scattered rains are expected over Konkan and Madhya Maharashtra during the next few days, with rains likely over Marathwada and Vidarbha after October 10. Mumbai can expect very light to light rain during the next four days, while Pune and Nashik are likely to get light to moderate rain on October 10, October 11 and October 12. The monsoon’s withdrawal thus does not seem likely in major parts of Maharashtra, including Pune and Mumbai during the next few days.”
