Mumbai braces for heavy rainfall in coming days

Heads up, Mumbai! The IMD has put the city and nearby areas like Thane and Palghar on a yellow alert for heavy rainfall from Thursday through Sunday.
Raigad and Ratnagiri are even higher on the scale with an orange alert, so expect some serious downpours in those spots.

TL;DR

July is usually Mumbai's wettest month

A low-pressure system over eastern India is pulling extra moisture to the region, according to weather expert Athreya Shetty.
After some scattered showers midweek (with Colaba and Santacruz logging a few millimeters), heavier rains are likely over the weekend.
Not surprising—July is usually Mumbai's wettest month, bringing in most of the city's monsoon rain.
