According to the IMD, Mumbai and its suburbs would remain generally cloudy, with light showers anticipated in certain locations. Though widespread heavy rainfall is not expected, some areas may experience moderate to heavy spells accompanied by gusty winds, with wind speeds around 40-50 kmph and gusts potentially reaching 50-60 kmph during intense rain periods. The maximum temperature was forecast to be around 32°C, while the minimum temperature recorded in the early morning of Thursday was 28°C. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) had been experiencing consistent monsoon activity since the start of August, with multiple episodes of moderate to heavy rainfall reported over the past week. Despite the ongoing monsoon, Mumbai's air quality remained good, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) at 23 on Thursday morning.
