The IMD forecasts thunderstorms, strong winds, and light to moderate rain in isolated areas of Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, and Vidarbha districts. Mumbai has been experiencing unusual rainfall, which is expected to continue for another day, prompting a 'yellow alert' for thunderstorms, lightning, and sporadic rain, particularly during late afternoons and evenings. According to a TOI report, this alert remains in effect until May 10, with heavier rain anticipated to subside by May 9.
The recent unexpected rainfall in Mumbai has been caused by a western disturbance, an unusual weather pattern for this time of year commonly linked to winter rains in northern India. This disturbance has resulted in moisture-laden winds overrunning the Konkan region, causing significant rainfall in Mumbai and its surrounding areas. In the last 24 hours, Santacruz observatory in Mumbai recorded 32 mm of rain—considerable for the pre-monsoon season. The maximum temperature was reported at 32.6°C, slightly above the norm, while the minimum dropped to 20.6°C, which is notably below average. High humidity levels have also contributed to the muggy atmosphere, with 81% in the morning and 61% by evening.
