Mumbai: Mumbai woke up to light to moderate rainfall on Tuesday morning. After a short respite over the weekend, Mumbai was lashed by heavy rain on Monday, leading the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to place the city under a yellow alert for the coming days. With thunderstorms, lightning, and spells of heavy rainfall expected, Mumbaikars have been advised to brace for another week of wet weather.
On Tuesday, the IMD issued a yellow alert covering Mumbai and its adjoining areas, warning of thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and intense showers. The alert signals a shift back into rain-heavy conditions for the city, which had just begun to recover from previous downpours. The department has further forecast that while scattered showers will continue midweek, another spell of heavy rainfall is likely on Friday, September 26.
