Over the past few days, heavy rainfall disrupted the daily lives of Mumbaikars. Several rain-related incidents were also reported during the period. The IMD has issued a Green Alert for Mumbai and several neighbouring districts for Sunday, July 12.

Raigad may experience light to moderate rainfall at isolated locations. Sindhudurg, meanwhile, is expected to receive light to moderate rainfall. The IMD said these weather conditions are very likely across all six districts.

For reference, AQI levels between 0 and 50 are considered 'good', 51 to 100 'moderate', 101 to 150 'poor', 151 to 200 'unhealthy', and anything above 200 falls into the 'hazardous' category.
