IMD issues yellow alert, forecasts rain for Mumbai Monday
Good news for Mumbaikars sweating it out: IMD says light to moderate rain and thunderstorms are headed your way starting Monday.
There's a yellow alert in place for Mumbai, Thane, and Raigad, with gusty winds (30-40km/h) expected.
The city's been seriously dry this June, missing its usual monsoon start and getting just a fraction of the average rainfall.
Mumbai lakes 9% full, water cuts
Mumbai's main lakes are running low at only 9% full compared to 25% last year, which has meant water cuts across the city.
Still, officials say there's enough supply to last till mid-August thanks to the existing stock, additional reserve supplies from the state government and the water cut in place.
IMD is hopeful too: monsoon rains should reach Konkan from June 24, which could finally give Mumbai the break it needs.
