Predictions And Precautions

It’s advisable to avoid driving altogether during heavy rain as roads become slippery and visibility drops significantly. However, if driving is essential, proceed with extreme caution by slowing down, maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles, and turning on your headlights for better visibility. For those who can work remotely, consider staying indoors to avoid the downpour and potential flooding altogether.

The weather forecast predicts thunderstorms with lightning in Karjat, Pen, Panvel, Khopoli and surrounding areas within the next 1-2 hours. This will likely be followed by light to moderate rain with some short, intense bursts.
