Mumbai: Mumbai woke up to mild winds and largely clear skies on Wednesday, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting partly cloudy conditions and one or two spells of rain or thundershowers during the day. No rainfall alert has been issued for the city this week.
Heavy Rains Lash City
Mumbai witnessed showers on Tuesday evening as the southwest monsoon continued its withdrawal from the region, providing brief relief from the high temperatures. Several suburban areas recorded more than 50 mm of rainfall in less than an hour.
Today's Weather Update
According to the IMD forecast, Mumbai and its suburbs are likely to experience partly cloudy skies with light rain at some locations. While widespread heavy rainfall is not expected, isolated parts of the city may receive moderate to heavy showers during intense spells. Gusty winds could also accompany stronger spells of rainfall.
Wind speeds are expected to remain around 40–50 kmph, with gusts reaching 50–60 kmph during intense weather activity. The maximum temperature is likely to remain around 32°C, while Mumbai recorded a minimum temperature of 27°C on Wednesday morning.
The weather comes as Mumbai continues to experience relatively subdued monsoon activity, with intermittent showers instead of prolonged spells of heavy rainfall. The city is likely to receive light showers over the next couple of days as the monsoon retreats, ahead of the IMD's formal declaration of the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon.
