According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), this is just the beginning of a wet spell expected to grace the city in the coming days.

The IMD has confirmed that Mumbai will likely experience continued rain activity over the next 48-72 hours. Weather officials noted that the current atmospheric conditions are favorable for intermittent showers, though they are expected to remain light to moderate in intensity.
Current Weather Patterns in Mumbai
Monday's rainfall, while light, was widespread across several parts of the city. The showers brought down temperatures slightly and improved air quality, though they weren't substantial enough to cause any significant disruption to daily life or transportation systems.
What to Expect in Coming Days
Mumbaikars should prepare for:
- Intermittent light to moderate showers
- Partly cloudy skies with occasional sunshine
- Moderate humidity levels

IMD's Advisory for Residents
While the current rainfall activity isn't expected to be intense, the weather department advises citizens to stay updated with the latest forecasts. The IMD continues to monitor weather systems developing over the Arabian Sea that could influence Mumbai's rainfall pattern in the coming week.
This early monsoon activity brings hope for adequate rainfall this season, crucial for the city's water reservoirs and overall water management. As always, Mumbaikars are advised to carry umbrellas and plan their commutes accordingly during peak shower hours.
