According to the weather forecast, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) will experience light to moderate rain initially, but the intensity is likely to increase by the weekend, with potential for heavy rainfall at isolated locations. A yellow alert has been declared in these regions for the next three days, starting Thursday.
The IMD's Santacruz observatory recorded a maximum temperature of 33.5 degrees Celsius and a minimum of 28 degrees Celsius on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Colaba observatory reported a high of 33 degrees Celsius and a low of 27.8 degrees Celsius, as per the latest Mumbai weather updates.
Tidal activity in Mumbai will see a high tide at 12:56 PM today, reaching 4.31 metres. The next high tide is expected at 12:40 AM on June 13, measuring 3.67 metres. A low tide is anticipated at 7:01 PM today at 1.99 metres, followed by another at 6:27 AM on June 13, dropping to 0.65 metres.
Rainfall data recorded between 8:00 AM on June 11 and 8:00 AM on June 12 shows that the city recorded 0.36 mm of rain. The eastern suburbs received 1.56 mm, while the western suburbs recorded 1.26 mm.
As the monsoon gradually approaches, the city may witness an increase in rainfall activity over the coming days.
The IMD said that quantitatively, the southwest monsoon seasonal rainfall over the country as a whole is likely to be 106 per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA) with a model error of +-4 per cent, indicating that above-normal rainfall is most likely over the country as a whole during the monsoon season (June to September), 2025.
"The southwest monsoon seasonal (June to September, 2025) rainfall is most likely to be above normal over Central India and South Peninsular India (>106% of LPA), normal over Northwest India (92-108% of LPA) and below normal over Northeast India (<94% of LPA)," the IMD said in a press release.
The southwest monsoon seasonal rainfall over the Monsoon Core Zone (MCZ) consisting of most of the rainfed agriculture areas in the country is most likely to be above normal (>106% of LPA).
During June to September 2025, normal to above normal rainfall is very likely over most parts of the country except some areas of Northwest and East India, and many areas of Northeast India where below normal rainfall is very likely.
