IMD Issues Weather Alerts as Mumbai and Maharashtra Brace for Renewed Monsoon Rains
Mumbai and surrounding districts are expected to experience renewed monsoon activity starting July 30, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing yellow alerts for Mumbai and Thane and orange alerts for Palghar and Raigad. Forecasts predict thunderstorms, heavy to very heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds up to 60 kmph in isolated areas. This weather change follows a brief dry spell and is linked to a deep depression over Odisha. Reservoir water levels have improved due to recent rains, while some districts face additional alerts for intense rainfall.
