Mumbai on Monday experienced partly cloudy weather during the early hours. As light rain drizzled across the city on Sunday, the weather appeared to be clear on Monday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that the unseasonal showers, which began in late October, have now stretched into November, with light to moderate rainfall likely to persist through the day across Mumbai and other nearby districts.
The maximum temperature in Mumbai is expected to settle around 33 degrees Celsius. Despite the intermittent spells of rain, humidity levels across the island city remain high, making the weather feel warmer.
According to the IMD, the city, despite the departure of the monsoon, has been witnessing post-monsoon moisture activity, with persistent cloud cover and humidity preventing any significant drop in temperature.
On the other hand, neighbouring areas such as Thane, Navi Mumbai and Sindhudurg also reported light rainfall during the early hours of Monday.
