Central Maharashtra receives lesser rainfall than west Maharashtra.

This is because it is located on the leeward side of Western Ghats.

Monsoon Winds usher in the Indian subcontinent and strikes the Western Ghats.

This obstructs their flow and hence the windward side gets the normal rainfall.

As the winds cross the Western Ghats area, it gets drier and therefore central Maharashtra receives scanty rainfall.

Because central Maharashtra lies on the leeward side(rain shadow region) of Western Ghats ,so the Western Ghats obstruct the rain bearing Arabian Sea branch of South west monsoon thus central Maharashtra experience a comparatively less rainfall than west (costal) regions of Maharashtra ..
