After a brief pause in heavy rains, Mumbai is gearing up for another wet spell as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast fresh showers beginning Tuesday.
The city enjoyed comparatively calmer weather over the weekend, following days of intense downpours last week that had disrupted normal life with waterlogging, traffic snarls, and train delays. However, IMD has now placed Mumbai under a yellow alert, signalling the possibility of moderate to heavy rain across several parts of the metropolis and its suburbs.
Forecast for Mumbai and Surrounding Districts
- 22–25 August: Predominantly cloudy skies with intermittent moderate rainfall are expected. Daytime temperatures will hover near 30°C, while nighttime readings may fall to 25–26°C.
- 26 August: A heavy rainfall alert has been issued, with widespread showers likely across Mumbai.
- 27–28 August: The city will continue to witness rainy conditions midweek, though no specific warning has been issued. Temperatures will remain slightly cooler at 28°C during the day and 25°C at night.
The weather department has also predicted light rain for districts including Thane, Raigad, Satara, Kolhapur, Osmanabad, Beed, and Nanded today.
Advisory for Commuters
Authorities have urged residents to remain cautious, as renewed heavy showers may once again lead to waterlogging, traffic congestion, and delays in local train services. Mumbaikars have been advised to track live weather and traffic updates while planning their travel.
Despite the temporary lull, Mumbai’s monsoon rhythm continues, keeping civic agencies and citizens on alert as the season progresses.
