The climatic conditions, which include cloudy weather, has contributed to the unseasonal showers, as per the India Meteorological Department.

The revised forecast predicted these districts receiving showers.
Some districts, including parts of Ratnagiri, received showers.
Among the other regions, Aurangabad and Jalgaon districts also received light showers, the IMD official said.
The unseasonal rain will have a direct impact on the flowering of mangoes, summer onion crop which is generally harvested and supplied to wholesale markets, and grape plants, the official added.
