Heavy rain warning for Mumbai

Heavy rains are expected between July 4 and 6 in Mumbai city and Raigad, Thane, Palghar, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts. Moderate to heavy rain is also likely in the ghat areas of Satara, Pune and Nashik districts in central Maharashtra, the Meteorological Department said.

Authorities have warned that disruptions to domestic travel and some degree of structural damage cannot be ruled out during this period. She called on citizens to be careful, especially while traveling through low-lying areas and ghat roads.

In a warning, the state disaster management urged residents to be vigilant and call local emergency numbers in case of any emergency.

Rainfall is expected to continue across Mumbai and surrounding areas during the next 24 hours. He added that heavy to very heavy rains are likely in several places, while isolated pockets may witness very heavy rainfall.

Wind speeds are also likely to reach 50-60 km/h at times.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD), in its 48-hour forecast, said the city and its suburbs are likely to witness continuous periods of rain. “Heavy to very heavy rain at a few places with possibility of very heavy rain at isolated places in the city and suburbs. Wind speed is very likely to reach 50-60 km per hour every now and then,” the Met Office said.

Monsoon activity is expected to pick up in Delhi

In Delhi, weather activity is expected to intensify from Sunday after a weaker than usual start to the southwest monsoon in the capital.

The IMD has issued a yellow alert for Saturday, predicting that the sky will be generally cloudy with one or two spells of very light to light rain. Thundershowers, lightning and strong winds of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, reaching 50 kilometers per hour are also expected.

Meteorologists say the delay in strengthening monsoon conditions over Delhi and most of northern India is linked to weather systems currently active in central India.

Explaining the situation, Mahesh Palawat, Head of Skymet Weather, said the humidity was concentrated in the western and central parts of the country.

“This low pressure in central India has led to concentration of moisture content in states like Mumbai, Gujarat and MP. When this weather system weakens by July 5 and July 6, we can expect more rainfall in Delhi,” he said.

Light rain and possible thunderstorms

“Residents should expect cloudy conditions with possible light rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds during the afternoon and evening on Saturday. Similar monsoon conditions are likely to continue over the next few days,” an IMD official said.

According to forecasts, Delhi may receive light to moderate rain on Sunday morning, followed by another spell during the evening or night. Thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds of up to 60 kilometers per hour are also possible.

Weather conditions are expected to be similar on Monday and Tuesday, with generally cloudy skies and intermittent rain activity.
