Hailstorms are likely at some places in Vidarbha and Marathwada regions of Maharashtra in the next two days in view of the moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal, an official of the India Meteorological Department said on Wednesday. This poses a threat to the Rabi crops, which have still not been harvested.

Gondia and Nagpur districts in the Vidarbha region received thunder showers on Tuesday, the weather official said. There are chances of hailstorm over Vidarbha and Marathwada in the next two days.
