Rains lashed Maharashtra's Nagpur district on Thursday morning and the downpour is likely to continue for the next three days in various districts of Vidarbha region, MeT officials said.

The showers led to a dip in mercury in different areas of Vidarbha where temperatures were hovering over 40 degrees Celsius.
