Rain is likely to make a comeback in the city and Mumbai Metropolitan Region, ending an almost two-week dry spell, meteorologists have predicted. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert (possibility of moderate rainfall) for Mumbai, Thane and Palghar for Tuesday and Wednesday and an orange alert (extremely bad weather is expected) for Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg and other districts for Tuesday.

Sunil Kamble, director of IMD (Mumbai), stated that rain activity is expected to intensify due to a cyclonic circulation that has developed over the Bay of Bengal, which may result in renewed rainfall in Mumbai.
