Rain in Pimpalgaon Baswant: What You Need to Know
Pimpalgaon Baswant weather follows a tropical savanna pattern (Köppen Aw): distinct wet and dry seasons, with rainfall concentrated in short, intense monsoon bursts rather than steady precipitation, delivering 700-800mm a year almost entirely between June and September. A hyperlocal radar for Pimpalgaon Baswant matters because those bursts hit hard and fast — in July 2026, nearby Nashik city recorded 107mm of rain in just a few hours, uprooting 25 trees and causing severe waterlogging across the district.
The mechanism is a town built on farmland close to a river system. Pimpalgaon Baswant sits north of the Kadva River, about 30km northeast of Nashik city in Niphad taluka, and the Nashik district administration explicitly flagged waterlogging risk to agriculture during the 2026 monsoon event that hit the wider district. A general Nashik-district forecast cannot show whether that kind of burst is settling directly over the onion market or passing to the south.
RainViewer draws its Pimpalgaon Baswant feed from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), refreshed every 5 minutes, so the map reflects new radar scans rather than a forecast written hours earlier. The town sits on the Nashik–Mumbai and Nashik–Aurangabad trade corridor via NH60, and traders moving produce through the area can see a storm cell forming before it reaches the market yard. What the live map reveals and a forecast cannot: whether a cell over the Kadva River catchment is tracking toward Pimpalgaon Baswant or staying closer to Nashik.
Rain by Season in Pimpalgaon Baswant
Southwest monsoon (June–September)
This window delivers the large majority of Pimpalgaon Baswant's annual rainfall in short, intense bursts, the same pattern behind the July 2026 Nashik downpour.
Hot, humid season (March–June)
Temperatures climb to around 40°C ahead of the monsoon, with little rain relief until the season breaks in June.
Cool, dry season (December–February)
Lows drop to around 10°C in this stretch, and it is the dry season when onion and grape harvests move through the market for storage and export.
Why You Need a Rain Radar in Pimpalgaon Baswant
Traders at the APMC onion market
Pimpalgaon Baswant hosts one of Asia's largest onion markets, a key hub for Nashik district's onion export economy. A trader checking the radar before a monsoon-season market day can protect stock from a sudden downpour like the one that hit Nashik in July 2026.
Onion and grape farmers in Niphad taluka
Onion farming is the dominant weather-exposed sector here, vulnerable to both drought and monsoon waterlogging, alongside grapes, tomatoes, sugarcane, and raisins. A farmer watching the radar can decide whether to bring in a harvest before a burst arrives or wait it out.
Travelers on NH60 through the Nashik–Mumbai corridor
Pimpalgaon Baswant sits on the Nashik–Mumbai and Nashik–Aurangabad trade route via NH60. A driver checking the radar before a monsoon-season trip can see whether rain is building along the corridor.
Farmland residents near the Kadva River
The Kadva River's proximity to Pimpalgaon Baswant is a documented local flood-adjacent feature, and the July 2026 Nashik downpour showed how fast a burst can cause waterlogging nearby. Residents near the river benefit from checking the radar once a heavy monsoon cell builds.
Buyers and exporters visiting the APMC onion market
Nashik district is one of India's top onion-exporting regions, drawing buyers and exporters to Pimpalgaon Baswant's market from across the state. Checking the radar before a buying trip shows whether a storm cell is likely to disrupt market-yard operations that day.
RainViewer Radar Coverage in Pimpalgaon Baswant
RainViewer draws radar data for India from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) via mausam.imd.gov.in, updated every 5 minutes. Coverage is strongest across the Gangetic Plain, western coast, and major cities; sparser in the Himalayan foothills and remote northeast. Pimpalgaon Baswant sits about 30km northeast of Nashik city, so storm bands crossing the wider Nashik district corridor are visible before they reach the onion market or the Kadva River.
Pimpalgaon Baswant Rain Radar: Frequently Asked Questions
- Is it raining in Pimpalgaon Baswant right now?
The fastest way to know is a live hyperlocal radar, since a monsoon burst here can drop over 100mm of rain in a few hours, the same pattern that hit nearby Nashik in July 2026. RainViewer pulls fresh India Meteorological Department (IMD) radar scans every 5 minutes, so the map reflects what is happening right now rather than a forecast written hours earlier.
- Should I visit the APMC onion market during monsoon season?
The market yard runs year-round, but June through September brings short, intense rain bursts that can disrupt outdoor trading with little warning. Checking the live radar before heading to the market during these months is worth more than a weekly forecast.
- Does rain affect travel on NH60 near Pimpalgaon Baswant?
Heavy monsoon rain on NH60, the Nashik–Mumbai and Nashik–Aurangabad trade corridor, can slow freight and trader traffic through the town. Checking the radar before a run on this route shows whether a cell is passing through or settling in for hours.
- Does Pimpalgaon Baswant flood when it rains?
The Kadva River's proximity to Pimpalgaon Baswant is a documented flood-adjacent feature, and in July 2026 a nearby Nashik downpour of 107mm in a few hours caused severe waterlogging and tree damage across the district, with the district administration flagging waterlogging risk specifically to standing crops. Farmland near the river should be tracked closely on the radar once a heavy monsoon cell builds.
- When is the best time to visit Pimpalgaon Baswant to avoid heavy rain?
December through February is the coolest, driest stretch of the year here, well clear of both the pre-monsoon heat of March–June and the June–September burst season. Visitors to the onion market should plan around these winter months for the most predictable conditions.
- Why does rain in Pimpalgaon Baswant arrive in such intense bursts?
The tropical savanna climate here delivers nearly all of the town's 700-800mm annual rainfall in short, hard bursts rather than steady monsoon drizzle, the same pattern that dropped 107mm on nearby Nashik in a few hours in July 2026. That burst pattern is why a live radar matters more here than a general seasonal forecast for onion and grape farmland.
- Is there a live rain radar for Pimpalgaon Baswant?
Yes — RainViewer's hyperlocal radar for Pimpalgaon Baswant draws directly from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), refreshing every 5 minutes with new scans instead of a periodic forecast update. The map covers the wider Nashik district corridor, so a cell approaching from Nashik city is visible before it reaches the onion market.
- Can I get a warning before rain hits the APMC onion market?
Yes — RainViewer's rain alerts can be set for a specific point like the APMC onion market or farmland near the Kadva River, so traders and farmers get a notification as a cell approaches instead of checking the map manually. That advance window is what lets a trader decide whether to cover stock before rain arrives.
Track Rain in Pimpalgaon Baswant in Real Time
Traders at Asia's largest onion market and farmers working Niphad taluka's onion and grape fields both depend on knowing what a monsoon burst over the Kadva River is about to do. The July 2026 Nashik downpour, 107mm in a few hours, showed how fast a routine cell can turn into waterlogging that threatens standing crops.
A generic forecast says scattered showers for Pimpalgaon Baswant this week. RainViewer's live hyperlocal radar shows the Kadva River catchment is already swelling while the onion market yard stays dry — that is the call a trader makes every time a monsoon burst builds.
