From June 1 to July 11, Nashik district has recorded 231.1 mm of rainfall, which is 81 per cent of the average. Nine talukas have received above-average rainfall, while six talukas are below average. Notably, four talukas in the ghat region, which typically see the highest rainfall, have received half or less of their average rainfall. While the state experiences heavy rains, Nashik district has yet to meet its normal average rainfall by mid-July.

This pattern has persisted for the past two to three weeks, with rain appearing sporadically. According to the administration's report, the district's average rainfall from June 1 to July 11 is 284 mm.

Surgana, Igatpuri, Peth, and Trimbakeshwar talukas have received the lowest rainfall compared to their average, despite being areas that typically receive heavy rainfall annually. Additionally, Kalwan and Nashik talukas have also experienced relatively low rainfall.
