The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed almost the entire Maharashtra on green alert, signalling a moderate level of caution as it forecast a downpour of 16-64 mm in Mumbai on Sunday. The weather update comes amid a week of high tides.

“While rainfall is expected (in Mumbai), it is unlikely to cause major disruptions. However, some districts in Maharashtra have been placed on a yellow alert due to the potential for localised impacts, including heavy showers and strong winds,” said an IMD official.
