Mumbai, the City of Dreams, is set to face another day of heavy rainfall and gloomy skies today, June 25. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted predominantly overcast conditions with substantial showers, mirroring yesterday’s weather patterns. An orange alert has been issued for Mumbai and the Konkan region, signaling potential disruption.
As of 9 AM, light rain was already drizzling over the city, with temperatures hovering around 28°C. The humidity levels are high at 85%, and winds are blowing at 29 km/h. While the chance of precipitation sits at 5%, the IMD warns that heavier downpours could follow.
The weather isn’t letting up anytime soon. Tomorrow, June 26, Mumbai can expect similar conditions: overcast skies, moderate rainfall, and temperatures ranging between 23°C and 30°C. The rest of the week looks equally wet, with isolated thunderstorms on Wednesday and Friday, and rain likely on Thursday. Weekend forecasts suggest scattered thunderstorms, extending into next Tuesday.
Beyond Mumbai, the IMD has raised alarms across Maharashtra. Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg in the Konkan region, along with Nashik and Pune, are under an orange alert due to anticipated heavy rainfall. Meanwhile, Nagpur and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar areas have received a yellow alert, indicating moderate to heavy showers.
Amid the downpour, there’s a silver lining for Mumbaikars. The air quality has improved significantly since pre-monsoon days. The latest update from the Sameer app by CPCB shows an AQI of 66, placing Mumbai in the ‘moderate’ air quality category.
Residents are advised to stay cautious, avoid waterlogged areas, and keep an eye on weather updates. Traffic disruptions and delays in local train services are likely, so planning ahead is key. The city’s spirit remains unshaken, though, as Mumbaikars gear up to weather yet another rainy day.
