Mumbai Weather Forecast: Cloudy Skies and Moderate Rain Expected Today

Mumbai: The city is bracing for partly cloudy skies with moderate rain and thunderstorms today, June 5, as reported by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The forecast comes amidst heavy pre-monsoon showers that have intensified heat and humidity across Maharashtra. A yellow alert has been issued for several districts, including Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Pune, and others, signaling potential thunderstorms and gusty winds.

Recent rainfall has affected parts of Konkan and central Maharashtra, with the IMD noting favorable conditions for continued precipitation despite a weakened monsoon flow. The alert extends to multiple regions, including Marathwada and Vidarbha, where light to moderate rain is expected over the next three days. Weather patterns are influenced by cyclonic conditions in upper Gujarat and northern Bangladesh, contributing to the stormy outlook. Residents can anticipate rain showers, particularly in the afternoon, with possible morning sunshine.

These conditions reflect significant temperature fluctuations, with humidity adding discomfort in some areas. The IMD advises residents to stay vigilant as thunderstorms and gale-force winds are possible.
