The city has a high chance of precipitation, and temperatures are hovering in the comfortable mid-to-high 20s degree Celsius range. Air quality remains good, a benefit of the continuous monsoon activity.

While today’s rain is not severe, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a significant warning for the upcoming weekend. The rainfall intensity is forecast to increase sharply from Saturday, September 27, with an Orange Alert in place for Saturday and Sunday for Mumbai, Thane, and Raigad. This alert signifies a likelihood of heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places.

Key Points:
Today (September 25): Light to moderate rain, with a high chance of afternoon/evening showers. No major disruption is anticipated.
Upcoming Alert: An Orange Alert has been issued for September 27 and 28, predicting heavy to very heavy rainfall.
Impact: The weekend’s intensified rain is expected to cause potential issues, including waterlogging in low-lying areas, traffic disruptions, and possible delays in local train services.
Monsoon Status: The city has already surpassed its September monthly average rainfall quota. Furthermore, the seven lakes supplying water to Mumbai are at nearly full capacity (around 99.67%), securing the city’s water stock.
