Mumbai Weather:
According to the IMD, partly cloudy skies in Mumbai and suburbs are very likely on Monday. The city may experience “hot and humid conditions. There is also a possibility of light rain or thundershowers towards afternoon or evening”. As a result, the agency has issued a yellow alert for the city.
On June 16, hot and humid conditions in isolated pockets are likely to continue. The city may see light rain on June 17, followed by dry weather the next day. Meanwhile, the IMD has also warned of warm night conditions in isolated pockets in the districts of Konkan-Goa. The monsoon usually arrives in Mumbai by June 10 or 11.
