Unseasonal Rains Persist Across Mumbai Region as IMD Flags Yellow Alerts and AQI Turns 'Good'

IMD attributes the showers to post-monsoon moisture influenced by a Bay of Bengal depression, with gradual clearing likely by midweek.

Overview

  • Light to moderate rain continued on Sunday across Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai and the Konkan, with Colaba logging 5.4 mm and Santacruz 1.5 mm between Saturday and Sunday morning.
  • The IMD issued yellow alerts for 16 Maharashtra districts and released two morning nowcast warnings for Navi Mumbai, Mumbai and Thane indicating short spells of rain and possible thunder.
  • Temperatures stayed below seasonal norms, with Saturday’s Mumbai maximum around 31.3°C, several degrees under typical early‑November levels.
  • Air quality improved sharply, with a citywide AQI of about 56 in the ‘good’ category and multiple stations reporting readings below 50, according to CPCB data.
  • Authorities cited post-monsoon moisture and an upper-air trough linked to the Bay of Bengal system, advised fishermen to avoid rough seas, and reported only localized waterlogging with traffic largely unaffected.
