After a long break, monsoon rain is expected to return to the island city of Mumbai and neighbouring Thane over the coming weekend. This will also bring down the mercury and give the much-needed relief to citizens.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a Yellow Alert for both cities for Saturday and Sunday, as there is a likelihood of heavy rainfall at isolated places. For the past 10 days, people have been living in discomfort due to hot and humid conditions, and the weekend showers will give them some relief.
