The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that Mumbai will continue to experience hot and humid conditions, with thunderstorms and gusty winds expected in several parts of Maharashtra. Residents are advised to stay prepared for sudden weather changes.
Mumbai is expected to remain hot and humid over the next few days, with temperatures staying high and moisture levels elevated. The IMD's forecast indicates that the combination of heat and humidity will likely trigger isolated thunderstorms in the city and surrounding areas.
Gusty winds accompanying these thunderstorms could reach speeds that may cause minor disruptions, such as swaying of temporary structures and difficulty in outdoor activities. The department has urged citizens to avoid unnecessary travel during peak storm periods and to secure loose objects.
Authorities recommend staying updated through official weather bulletins and using protective measures like umbrellas or raincoats when venturing out. The weather pattern is typical for the pre‑monsoon season in Maharashtra, where sudden showers often follow prolonged heat.
