The India Meteorological Department (IMD), in its latest Mumbai weather update, has predicted a partly cloudy sky with light to moderate rainfall in Mumbai on Wednesday.


The weather department, in its latest Mumbai weather update, has predicted a "partly cloudy sky with light to moderate rain in the city and its suburbs" in the next 24 hours.


The maximum temperature in the city is likely to settle at 34 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature will be recorded at 26 degrees Celsius.


A high tide of about 4.48 metres is expected to hit Mumbai at 3.19 pm today, stated Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The civic body also said that a low tide of about 1.59 metres is expected at 9.29 pm today.

The island city recorded 9.41 mm of rainfall, eastern Mumbai 12.85 mm and western Mumbai 9.68 mm of rainfall in the 24-hour period ending at 8 am.

Meanwhile, the southwest monsoon advanced further into various parts of Gujarat, bringing significant rains on Tuesday, with Visavadar taluka in Junagadh district recording 109 mm of rainfall within 12 hours.

Amid the forecast of heavy to very heavy rainfall in some areas, seven teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been deployed in Kutch, Rajkot, Devbhoomi Dwarka, Gir Somnath, Bhavnagar, Narmada, and Valsad districts.

Additionally, eight more teams are kept on alert mode along with the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), an official said.

Visavadar taluka in Junagadh district received 109 mm of rainfall in only 12 hours from 6 am to 6 pm on Tuesday, as per the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC) data.

This was part of a broader trend where 88 out of 251 talukas received rain during the same timeframe with the Saurashtra-Kutch region seeing the monsoon activity.

In the preceding 24 hours ending at 6 am on Tuesday, 153 talukas experienced rainfall, with particularly heavy downpours in isolated areas of Kheda, Panchmahal, Surendranagar, Ahmedabad, Jamnagar, and Gandhinagar, as per SEOC. As a result, Gujarat has received 4.82 per cent of its total expected monsoon rainfall so far.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated that the southwest monsoon is likely to continue progressing into additional regions of the north Arabian Sea, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and southeastern Rajasthan over the next few days.

The forecast also suggests the possibility of further monsoon advancement into parts of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and other areas in the upcoming 3-4 days.
