Mumbai Begins the Week Under Heavy Rain with Yellow Alert Issued by IMD
Mumbai started the week on Monday morning shrouded in heavy cloud cover, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert for the city and its surrounding regions. Following intermittent but intense showers over the past few days, weather officials have forecast widespread rainfall throughout the day across Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, and other parts of the Konkan belt.
**Heavy Rain Alerts Across Mumbai and Konkan**
According to the IMD, several districts including Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Palghar, and Sindhudurg are expected to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall. The alert warns of possible disruptions caused by waterlogging in low-lying areas, traffic delays, and interruptions to suburban rail services.
Temperatures in Mumbai are expected to remain cool but humid, with maximum and minimum temperatures hovering around 29°C and 25°C, respectively. In Thane and Navi Mumbai, heavy showers are predicted to persist throughout the day.
**Impact on Rail Services and Traffic**
Prolonged monsoon rains may lead to disruptions on the Central and Harbour Railway routes, which are frequently affected during such spells. Authorities have urged residents to exercise caution when venturing outdoors, especially during peak hours of rainfall.
**Continuous Rainfall in Palghar and Surrounding Areas**
Palghar district, which has already been receiving continuous rainfall for the past two to three days, remains under a yellow alert. While some parts of the district may experience moderate rain, others are likely to face intense downpours accompanied by strong winds. The IMD has also warned of damp and humid conditions prevailing across the region.
**Konkan’s Southern Districts Brace for Heavy Rain**
The southern Konkan districts of Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg are preparing for another day of heavy rainfall. These areas have been grappling with waterlogging and disruptions to daily life for the past week and are expected to encounter similar challenges once again.
Residents are advised to stay updated with weather reports and take necessary precautions to stay safe during this period of unsettled weather.
