Nashik, Maharashtra — The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday forecast mainly dry and humid conditions for North Maharashtra, which includes Nashik, for September 27, 2026. The bulletin said the influence of a weakening low-pressure area has reduced rainfall intensity across the state and overall precipitation is expected to ease.
What the IMD says for Nashik and neighbouring districts
According to the IMD update released on Sunday morning, districts in North Maharashtra — specifically Dhule, Nandurbar, Jalgaon and Nashik — are likely to experience dry and humid weather. The department advised that light to moderate rain may occur at some places in the Ghat regions of the state, but no major rainfall activity is expected over the plains of North Maharashtra on Sunday.
- Konkan: Palghar, Thane, Mumbai, Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg have seen rainfall in recent days; light showers remain possible at isolated places.
- Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada: Possibility of isolated light rain accompanied by lightning and afternoon thundershowers in some areas.
- Vidarbha: Rain intensity is likely to decrease further as the low-pressure influence subsides.
The IMD specifically noted that the overall chances of heavy rainfall remain low for Konkan and that no major rain alerts have been issued for districts mentioned for September 27. For areas such as Pune, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur and Solapur, the bulletin said light to moderate rain or isolated thunderstorms are possible, particularly in hilly zones.
Local implications for Nashik residents
With the IMD forecasting predominantly dry and humid conditions in Nashik, outdoor activity, agriculture and travel plans in the district are unlikely to be significantly disrupted on Sunday. However, the department cautioned that weather may change in the afternoon in some pockets where isolated thundershowers and lightning cannot be ruled out, especially in higher elevations of the Ghats.
“As the influence of the low-pressure area subsides, the intensity of rainfall has also decreased,”
the IMD bulletin said, adding that rainfall recorded in parts of Vidarbha over recent days is expected to taper off.
| Region | Forecast for Sept 27 |
|---|---|
| North Maharashtra (including Nashik) | Mostly dry and humid; light rain in Ghats possible |
| Konkan | Light showers at isolated places; heavy rain unlikely |
| Madhya Maharashtra & Marathwada | Isolated light rain and thunderstorms possible |
| Vidarbha | Rainfall intensity likely to decrease |
Local officials and residents should remain alert to short-term changes, the IMD said, since afternoon thundershowers and lightning can develop rapidly in isolated pockets even when the broader state trend is towards drier weather.
For commuters and farmers in Nashik, the practical takeaway from the IMD advisory is that while widespread rain is not expected on Sunday, micro‑weather variations—particularly in the Ghats—may bring sudden showers. Citizens are advised to monitor local forecasts and heed any district or municipal advisories if conditions change.
Separately, the IMD report noted that New Delhi experienced temperatures falling below normal after light rains and thunderstorms, with maximum temperatures likely to hover around 30-32 degrees Celsius and minima between 21 and 23 degrees Celsius; this was cited as part of the department’s broader national update.
Residents who need the latest, minute-by-minute updates should consult the official IMD website or authorised state meteorological channels for any watches, warnings or changes to the forecast.
