The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Monday issued red alerts for Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, and several ghat regions of Maharashtra, warning of extremely heavy rainfall at isolated places accompanied by strong winds over the next two days. The forecast comes amid an active monsoon spell that has already disrupted normal life across parts of the state.

According to the IMD's district-wise forecast issued at 12.20 pm on Monday, Mumbai, Thane, and Raigad are likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall at a few places, with extremely heavy rainfall at isolated locations, along with occasional strong winds reaching 70-80 kilometre per hour (kmph) on Monday. Similar conditions are expected to persist on Tuesday, although the intensity is likely to ease slightly thereafter.
