Pune: Widespread rainfall is very likely to occur over Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and south Rajasthan, while fairly widespread rainfall is forecast over Madhya Maharashtra and Konkan during the next three days under the influence of a low-pressure area formed over east Uttar Pradesh and adjoining Bihar on Tuesday.

Heavy to very heavy rainfall will happen at isolated places across the country, specifically over Madhya Pradesh. Heavy to very heavy rainfall at a few places, with isolated extreme rainfall, is likely over Gujarat region on July 14 and July 15. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected at isolated places over Saurashtra and Kutch. It will decrease thereafter in a span of two days, said the IMD.
