TL;DR:<\/strong> Maharashtra’s monsoon runs June to early October<\/strong>, but it falls very unevenly. The Konkan coast<\/strong> (Alibaug, Ganpatipule, Tarkarli) and the Sahyadri ghats<\/strong> (Lonavala, Mahabaleshwar, Bhandardara, Amboli) get the heaviest rain and the best waterfall-and-mist scenery; Pune<\/strong> is milder; the Marathwada and Vidarbha interior<\/strong> sits in a rain shadow and stays hot and dry. The monsoon reached Mumbai on 23 June 2026<\/strong>, about two weeks late, and IMD has forecast a below-normal season (~90% of the long-period average)<\/strong> \u2014 so expect green hills with patchier, less predictable rain than usual. Never enter fast-flowing water at dams or waterfalls; Pune and Lonavala impose legal bans on it every monsoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
