The latest forecast predicts heavy to very heavy rains over Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) in the next 48 hours, potentially causing waterlogging as rain is expected to be consistently moderate to heavy for at least the next 24-36 hours. Western suburbs from Dadar, Worli, and Bandra will experience the most rainfall, with interior MMR also expected to receive heavy rain.
Due to the alignment of westerly winds with high humidity hitting the Konkan coast, Mumbai is expected to witness heavy rains, which will also continue into next week.
