Mumbai Weather Update: Maha Capital To Get Heavy Rains As IMD Issues Yellow Alert

Mumbai, Thane and Palghar remain under an IMD Yellow Alert on Thursday, with warnings of heavy rain at a few places. Skies stay mostly cloudy over these districts, and some neighbourhoods may see short but sharp showers during the day.

Morning conditions in Mumbai feel warm and sticky despite the cloud cover. IMD data shows the Colaba observatory reporting a minimum temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature is 28 degrees Celsius, leaving many residents facing heat and high humidity together.

IMD Yellow Alert Mumbai rainfall forecast and monsoon outlook

Weather agency expects the current rainfall over Mumbai, Thane and Palghar to ease during the next three days. At the same time, South Konkan remains wetter, as the IMD Yellow Alert continues there until Sunday, with rain activity likely to persist over that coastal belt.

These changing patterns come as the monsoon moves closer to the Indian mainland. Maharashtra is set to shift gradually from the recent hot summer spell towards cooler, wetter conditions. The coming weeks are likely to feature more frequent showers and cloudy spells across many districts.

IMD Yellow Alert Mumbai rainfall data and city showers

Despite Thursday’s warning, IMD Mumbai reports no measurable rain at the city’s main stations during the 24 hours ending Thursday morning, 4 June. Both Colaba and Santacruz record 0.0 mm in this period, following intense pre-monsoon rain that affected several pockets on Wednesday.

Forecasts from the weather agency still point to isolated rain and possible thunderstorms later on Thursday. These are most likely during the afternoon and evening. Partly cloudy skies may offer limited respite from direct sunshine, but moisture in the air is expected to stay high.

Earlier rainfall figures from Tuesday, 3 June, between 7 am and 8 am, show uneven distribution across Mumbai. The island city reports 0.96 mm, western suburbs 9.84 mm, and eastern suburbs 1.25 mm. Versova records the highest total at 69 mm, while Vile Parle follows with 52 mm.

Other neighbourhood data highlights sharp local showers. Andheri East receives 49 mm and Andheri West 46 mm. Another reading from Vile Parle shows 33 mm, while Santacruz notes 30 mm. In the eastern suburbs, Chembur records 12 mm of rain during the same one-hour window.

IMD Yellow Alert Mumbai rainfall conditions and air quality

Recent rain has helped improve Mumbai’s air quality to a 'satisfactory’ bracket on Thursday. The Central Pollution Control Board’s Sameer App places the citywide Air Quality Index at 51, a level that usually signals low risk for people without existing health problems.

Readings differ between monitoring stations but mostly stay in the good to satisfactory range. Detailed AQI data is shown below.

With the IMD Yellow Alert in place and monsoon winds advancing, Mumbai and nearby districts now sit in a transition phase. Rainfall is uneven, heat and humidity persist, yet air quality has improved, leaving residents watching daily forecasts closely for further shifts in weather.
