The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a 'yellow' alert for Mumbai and its suburbs on Thursday. This advisory indicates the potential occurrence of thunderstorms with lightning and wind gusts in one or two locations. Similarly, a warning has been extended for Palghar, Raigad, and Thane for the upcoming two days. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is anticipated in Ratnagiri. Moreover, an 'orange' warning has also been issued for certain areas.
Flight delays were reported at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on Wednesday, possibly due to the ongoing rain. IndiGo stated that the delay was caused by 'challenging weather conditions' and 'air traffic congestion' when responding to inquiries on social media.
Mumbai has experienced continuous rainfall this month following the onset of monsoon. According to meteorologists, a variety of weather factors have contributed to this resumption after a break in August caused by the El Niño effect.
The IMD Regional Meteorological Center has also shared weather updates for other areas in Maharashtra for the upcoming three days. According to the predictions from the weather department on Friday, there is a high possibility of moderate to heavy rain or thunderstorms in most South Konkan Goa districts and many locations in South Madhya Maharashtra. Additionally, moderate rain or thunderstorm is expected in most places of North Konkan districts, while some areas in North Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada districts may experience moderate rain or thundershowers.
