On Tuesday, Mumbai and nearby areas woke up to a cloudy morning and light showers for the second consecutive day.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) in its 24-hour forecast has predicted a partly cloudy sky with the possibility of light to moderate rainfall and thundershowers for today.
Meanwhile, a high tide of 4.03 metres is expected at 11 am in Mumbai today. Also, a low tide of 2.02 metres is likely to occur at 4.57 pm today.
A high tide of 3.56 metres is also expected at 10.50 pm today and a low tide of 4.54 am metres at 4.54 am on Wednesday.

The Santacruz observatory in the western suburbs recorded a minimum temperature of 25.5 degrees Celsius, while the Colaba observatory recorded a minimum temperature of 25.6 degrees Celsius.
