The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a fresh weather alert for Maharashtra as pre-monsoon conditions gather strength across the state. Several regions are set to experience isolated spells of light to moderate rainfall, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds in the coming days.
According to the IMD, Konkan and Goa are likely to witness intermittent rain between May 25 and May 28. Parts of Madhya Maharashtra may also see similar activity on May 25, 27, and 28. Thunderstorm-related gusty winds reaching 40-50 kmph are expected in affected areas.
Temperatures in the state have shown a gradual increase of 2-3°C in recent days due to clear skies and intense daytime heating. The IMD has forecast no major change in maximum temperatures between May 26 and May 31.
Mumbai’s Outlook
Mumbai is expected to continue experiencing warm and humid conditions with predominantly clear skies. High humidity levels will make the weather feel uncomfortable. On May 27, the city may see brief periods of rain or thundershowers, particularly during the afternoon or evening. Daytime temperatures are likely to remain in the 33-35°C range. No significant weather warnings have been issued for the city beyond May 27, with mostly clear conditions predicted until the end of the month.
In nearby Thane, hot and humid weather persisted with temperatures around 34°C and humidity near 61%. However, sudden pre-monsoon convective activity could trigger isolated afternoon or evening thunderstorms along with gusty winds.

Pune’s Forecast
Pune and surrounding areas are likely to witness more active weather, especially on May 26. The city may experience thunderstorms with lightning and light rainfall later in the day as cloud cover develops. In the following days, skies are expected to be mostly clear to partly cloudy. Daytime temperatures could range between 35°C and 37°C, with nights cooling to around 22-23°C.
Meteorologists at the IMD’s Regional MET Centre describe the current pattern as typical of the transition into the pre-monsoon season, marked by rising heat, higher humidity, and short but intense convective activity. While widespread monsoon rains are still some weeks away, sporadic showers and strong winds are expected to persist, particularly in coastal and interior parts of the state vulnerable to such developments.
This early pre-monsoon activity provides an initial glimpse of the seasonal shift, even as Maharashtra deals with fluctuating temperatures and uneven rainfall patterns.
