After witnessing its earliest monsoon onset in 75 years with record rainfall in May, Mumbai experienced a notable lull over the past two weeks. The pause in rainfall led to rising daytime temperatures, peaking at 34°C on Thursday. Meteorologists attribute this break to the absence of strong monsoon systems such as robust westerlies and trough formations.
IMD further forecasts that heavy to very heavy rainfall will continue across parts of Maharashtra until June 17. As the monsoon systems regain strength, residents have been advised to prepare for waterlogging, traffic disruptions, and localised flooding, particularly over the weekend.
