Mumbai Weather Today: IMD predicts thunderstorms, rain likely to return; check the forecast for this week | Today’s news
Mumbai is expected to experience mixed weather on June 22. Clouds will prevail for most of the hour, although rain remains firmly in the picture.
The morning started warm and sticky. Temperatures started around 29°C with mostly cloudy skies. Light rain will develop during the late morning and cool briefly.
The rain is expected to remain scattered rather than persistent. Showers are most likely during the afternoon, especially around 2pm. Forecasts indicate that rain or thunderstorms may develop later in the day as moisture builds in the region.
“Thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds (30-40 kmph),” the IMD report expects.
Despite the cloud cover, temperatures will remain high. According to AccuWeather, the city can touch 34°C during peak afternoon hours. However, conditions could be significantly warmer.
The RealFeel temperature is expected to rise above 40°C at times. Heat index values may remain uncomfortable until the early afternoon.
Windy conditions can offer some relief. The southwesterly wind is expected to gradually increase during the day. The speed can increase from around 13 km/h during the morning to more than 20 km/h later.
Humidity is likely to remain high throughout. This combination of heat and humidity can create stifling conditions even under cloudy skies.
Rain activity is uneven throughout the day. Morning showers may remain light and localized. Afternoon conditions look more favorable for wider rain development.
By evening, the sky should remain mostly cloudy. Temperatures may drop slightly to around 30°C. The chance of rain persists until late in the evening.
Around 10 p.m., there may be a short spell of rain, AccuWeather predicts. Wind gusts could reach up to 30 km/h overnight.
The broader 7-day outlook also remains generous. Forecasts indicate repeated rain or thunderstorms in Mumbai this week. A thunderstorm warning with gusty winds of 30 to 40 km/h was highlighted for part of the week.
