Heavy rain lashed Mumbai late Sunday, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue red and orange alerts for several city areas and suburbs. The downpour led to waterlogging and traffic disruptions. IMD forecasted continued light to moderate rainfall through early Monday, with a generally cloudy sky and heavy rain expected for the day. Temperatures were predicted to range between 24°C and 31°C. A low-pressure area over south Madhya Maharashtra is expected to move east and weaken. Widespread rainfall with thunderstorms and gusty winds is predicted in Konkan, Goa, and Madhya Maharashtra from May 25–27. Red alerts were issued for eight Mumbai weather stations, while Navi Mumbai, Thane, and Kalyan are on orange alert. Raigad is under a red alert, and Thane and Palghar under orange. Notably, the southwest monsoon arrived early in Maharashtra, the earliest in 35 years, and is expected to reach Mumbai and neighboring areas within three days.
