The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued thunderstorm alerts for Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, and several other districts of Maharashtra, placing many regions under yellow and orange alerts through May 7 due to the likelihood of heavy rainfall.
Following two days of intense showers, light rain is forecast in Mumbai on May 8, after which partly cloudy skies and dry weather are expected.
Districts including Pune and Nasik are also on alert as per the IMD라이브 바카라 bulletin released Tuesday. Most regions are expected to remain on yellow alert through Wednesday, before conditions begin to ease.
Meanwhile, Mumbai's air quality has improved, with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) reporting an AQI of 58, which falls under the ‘Satisfactory’ category. While not a major concern, people with respiratory sensitivities are advised to limit outdoor exposure and consider wearing masks.
The IMD has issued an orange alert for Chandrapur and Gadchiroli in Vidarbha, while yellow alerts are in place for several other areas including Pune, Nashik, Jalgaon, Satara, Thane, Palghar, and parts of Central Maharashtra and Marathwada.
This change in weather is being influenced by a western disturbance currently active over northern India, affecting Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Delhi, which is now causing ripple effects in southern and western parts of the country.
Widespread rain, accompanied by thunderstorms, is expected across much of Maharashtra on May 5. This includes Konkan, Central Maharashtra, Marathwada, and Vidarbha. On May 6, rainfall is likely to continue in places such as Satara, Pune, Nashik, Ahmednagar, Jalgaon, and eastern districts including Beed, Jalna, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
By May 7, most of Konkan, Central, and Northern Maharashtra will continue to receive rain, while Vidarbha is expected to remain mostly dry.
