Mumbai weather live updates: The India Meteorological Department has issued rain alerts for parts of Maharashtra and other Indian cities due to the early onset of the southwest monsoon. Rainfall has been falling in Mumbai, Kerala, Delhi, and Tamil Nadu over the past few days, with the IMD classifying Sunday’s rainfall alone as “heavy”—the city’s second-highest 24-hour May rainfall ever recorded. Overnight temperatures also dropped, with Safdarjung experiencing a 10-degree drop in temperature in just 75 minutes.
Monday marked the beginning of the southwest monsoon over Mumbai, one day after it arrived over Maharashtra for the first time in 35 years. The meteorological service predicted exceptionally heavy rains, a thunderstorm with lightning, and strong winds for Mumbai on Monday. The alert was first issued as a yellow, then an orange, and finally a red. On Monday, Mumbai is expected to get a lot of rain and mostly gloomy skies. It is anticipated that the minimum temperature will be 24 degrees Celsius and the maximum will likely hover around 31 degrees Celsius.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Monday, May 26, 2025, brought thunderstorms and heavy rains to Mumbai and numerous regions of Maharashtra. With cloudy sky, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds of 40 to 50 kmph, the IMD issued a yellow advisory for Mumbai. Over the next four hours, Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri, Satara, Kolhapur, and Nashik are all predicted to see a lot of rain.
The highest and lowest temperatures in Mumbai are predicted to be about 31°C and 24°C, respectively. In isolated places, a “Nowcast” warning indicated strong rain and winds of 50–60 kmph. Since Sunday night, the city has been experiencing nonstop rain; in the 24 hours ending at 8 am, the island city recorded 58 mm, the eastern suburbs 19 mm, and the western suburbs 15 mm.
On June 5, the Southwest Monsoon arrived almost ten days early, the earliest commencement since 1990, and moved into Mumbai and neighboring Maharashtra regions. Maharashtra experienced the wettest May in 35 years with 79.6 mm of rainfall from May 1–23—an 844% excess over the typical 7.9 mm.
Mumbai’s suburban rail services were interrupted by thunderstorms; trains on the Central Railway experienced an 8–10 minute delay because of poor visibility. Despite several passengers reporting delays on social media, Western Railway claimed normal operations. Low-lying areas saw floods, although there was no significant waterlogging. Low tides are predicted for Tuesday at 5:18 pm (1.63 m) and 5:21 am (0.04 m), while high tides are predicted for 11:24 am (4.75 m) and 11:09 pm (4.17 m).
NDRF rescue efforts were prompted by Sunday’s torrential rainfall in Pune, which resulted in floods in Baramati (83.6 mm) and Indapur (35.7 mm). Residents of 150 villages in Baramati and 70 villages in Indapur were forced to migrate as water flooded their homes. For two hours, the Pune-Solapur highway close to Indapur was closed. Due to the flood-like conditions, Baramati MP Supriya Sule recommended that exams be postponed.
