After a spell of moderate showers on Tuesday evening, Mumbai woke up to bright sunshine and clearer skies on Wednesday. However, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that the respite may be short-lived, issuing a yellow alert for the city and surrounding districts, predicting thunderstorms and moderate rainfall later in the day.

According to the IMD forecast, partly cloudy skies are expected through the day, with isolated thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds reaching speeds of 40–50 km/h likely in Mumbai, Thane, and Palghar.
