Mumbai is likely to witness a partly cloudy sky with the possibility of light rain or thunderstorms in the city and suburbs on Friday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The weather department has also forecast hot and humid conditions across the city. Daytime temperatures are expected to remain high, with the maximum temperature likely to reach 34 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature is expected to settle around 28 degrees Celsius.
Residents can expect warm and muggy conditions throughout the day, with intermittent cloud cover and the possibility of light showers in some areas.
Despite the hot and humid weather, Mumbai's air quality remained in the 'Satisfactory' category on Friday.
According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) SAMEER App, the city's Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 55, indicating minimal impact on public health.
Air quality varied across different parts of the city, with most monitoring stations recording AQI levels in the good-to-satisfactory range.
Bandra Kurla Complex recorded an AQI of 82, Borivali 56, Byculla 65, Andheri 34, Chembur 44, Colaba 103 and Ghatkopar 69.
Elsewhere in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), air quality continued to remain in the satisfactory category.
Thane recorded an AQI of 74, while Navi Mumbai registered an AQI of 58, with both cities maintaining satisfactory air quality levels.
An AQI between 51 and 100 falls under the 'Satisfactory' category and generally poses little to no health risk for most individuals. Areas recording AQI levels below 50 are considered to have 'Good' air quality.
Meanwhile, heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely to continue across several northeastern states over the next five to six days, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday warning of thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds across the region amid the advance of the southwest monsoon.
According to IMD officials, conditions are favourable for the southwest monsoon to advance into more parts of the Northeast during the next two to three days after making its onset over Kerala on Thursday.
The monsoon has already progressed into parts of the Bay of Bengal, setting the stage for enhanced rainfall activity across the region.
The weather office forecast fairly widespread to widespread light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds over Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura during the coming week.
Wind speeds are expected to reach 40-50 kmph in several areas, particularly on June 6 and 7. Officials said isolated heavy rainfall is very likely over Assam and Meghalaya on June 4 and 5 and again on June 10, while isolated very heavy rainfall is expected between June 6 and 9.
Arunachal Pradesh is likely to witness very heavy rainfall on June 4 and during June 6-9, with heavy rain forecast on June 5 and June 10.
Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura are also expected to receive heavy rainfall between June 5 and 10.
The IMD noted that the region has already begun experiencing intense weather activity. During the 24 hours ending at 8.30 a.m. on Thursday, Arunachal Pradesh recorded very heavy rainfall, while isolated heavy rainfall was reported in Assam and Meghalaya.
Badatighat in Assam received 10 cm of rainfall, while gusty winds of up to 52 kmph were recorded at a meteorological station in the region.
