Mumbai weather: Red alert in financial capital due to thunderstorms, rains; check forecast

Mumbai and Palghar are under a red alert for thunderstorms, intense rain, and strong winds as the southwest monsoon finally arrived, 13 days late. This much-needed downpour follows a prolonged heatwave. Despite heavy rainfall in several areas, city infrastructure like subways and train services remained operational, though some road congestion was reported. The monsoon's delayed onset is noted as significant, though not the longest on record.
