Mumbai: Mumbai began the week under partially cloudy skies with light spells of rain reported in parts of the suburbs on Monday morning. After a week marked by heavy rainfall and frequent alerts, today’s weather is expected to bring some much-needed relief for residents.
No Rain Alert For Mumbai & Surrounding Region
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) clarified that no weather alerts are in place for Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri or Sindhudurg districts on September 8. While intermittent showers are likely in some areas, the overall weather will remain comparatively stable, sparing citizens the disruption witnessed last week.
For Mumbai, the forecast indicates cloudy conditions through the day with occasional light to moderate rain in isolated pockets.

Similar Conditions In Regions Around Mumbai
Navi Mumbai and Thane are likely to see similar weather conditions, with cloud cover dominating the morning and scattered showers in the afternoon and evening. While heavy rain is not anticipated, localized water accumulation on roads cannot be ruled out.

Palghar, which had been under continuous weather alerts over the past three days, has been spared any warnings today. The district will likely experience cloudy conditions and mild rainfall in patches.
