The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated light to moderate rainfall for Mumbai and coastal Maharashtra with a green alert for the remainder of the week, while a yellow alert has been issued for Palghar and Thane districts for Tuesday and for Ratnagiri for Thursday and Friday.

According to the IMD, the city will likely experience moderate rainfall over the next two days due to western disturbances. These are east-moving wind systems that have picked up moisture travelling eastward from their origination close to the Mediterranean Sea.
