Mumbai’s weekend rain is unusual for this time of year. The IMD has issued a “yellow” warning for the city and adjacent areas like Thane and Palghar, predicting thunderstorms with lightning and strong winds (30–40 kmph) in one or two places.
Early Sunday morning, Mumbai had mild rain and thunder. Rain and a fresh breeze cooled the city. In the last 24 hours, IMD authorities reported 9.2 mm at the Colaba observatory in south Mumbai and 5.2 mm at the Santacruz observatory in the suburbs.
A trough along the Bay of Bengal coast implies Mumbai and adjacent locations will likely rain. “This trough is moving towards the Maharashtra coastline, which may lead to rainfall in several coastal districts, including parts of the Mumbai metropolitan region,” stated the leaders.
The rain should improve city air quality. November 9 brought severe rain to various parts of Mumbai. Mulund, Malad, Goregaon, Kalyan, Dombivli, Thane, and certain Navi Mumbai areas.
