MUMBAI: The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert in Mumbai for the next two days.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday Mumbai and its suburbs will continue to see rain during the next 24 hours due to a low-pressure area over western parts of Maharashtra’s Vidarbha, leading to moderate rain at most places with heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places.
“Moderate rainfall measuring 3 cm reported over Mumbai (Santacruz) during 0230-0530 hours IST of today. As the low-pressure area now lies over western parts of Vidarbha, rainfall activity over Mumbai and its suburbs would continue during next 24 hours leading to moderate rain at most places with heavy to very heavy rainfall (<15cm) at isolated places,” the IMD said in its Twitter handle.
As Mumbai witnessed light showers on Monday with moderate rainfall at isolated places, officials at the weather forecasting department sounded a yellow alert in the city on Tuesday and Wednesday. The city is very likely to receive heavy to very heavy rain at isolated places for the next couple of days, the IMD stated.
The Met department also issued an orange alert in Thane for Tuesday. In neighboring Palghar too, a yellow alert has been sounded for Tuesday and an orange alert has been issued for Wednesday.
