The monsoon season is likely to reach Mumbai on June 24, with the India Meteorological Department sounding an yellow alert for next week. While the passing of Cyclone Biparjoy (and subsequent days) had brought scattered showers to the city, rain has continued to evade the MMR region for the most part.
“Conditions are favourable for the monsoon to move further towards Raigad, Thane, Mumbai and Palghar. Monsoon is likely to reach Mumbai by June 24,” said IMD Mumbai earlier this week.
According to reports, the Met department has issued a yellow alert for June 26 to 27. Such an alert indicates that the city and adjoining areas will receive heavy rain at isolated places.
The IMD bulletin released on Thursday night indicated that the city and adjoining areas would see “generally cloudy skies with possibility of light to moderate rain”. The maximum temperature is likely to be around 33°C while the minimum temperature is likely to be 28°C.
The Southwest Monsoon is now resuming its trajectory after Cyclone Biparjoy – the longest storm in the Arabian Sea. The delay in monsoon has resulted in a rainfall deficit for some of the southern states. Thus more rainfall is expected as the southwest monsoon continues to make its way across the states.
Various parts of South India are now undergoing continuous rainfall with the onset of monsoon and the delayed effects of the convection conditions.
