India weather: Heavy rains forecast for Mumbai, South and North-East India brace for showers
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted increased rainfall in Mumbai and nearby cities till May 24, as downpours continue to wreak havoc in the financial capital of India. It is expected that rains and gusty winds will continue in parts of Maharashtra this week due to a cyclonic circulation likely to form over the east-central Arabian Sea. A yellow alert has been issued for Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) by the MeT Department, with forecast of light to moderate rainfall and high-speed winds in some areas. A yellow alert has also been issued in Thane, Palghar, Raigad, and Nasik for today. IMD official Shubhangi Bhute, while speaking to PTI, also predicted that the intensity of rainfall in Mumbai and nearby cities will increase from May 21 to 24. Apart from Mumbai, the weather disturbance is expected to impact south Konkan and south-central Maharashtra. Meanwhile, a red alert has been issued in Sindhudurg, and an orange alert has been issued in Ratnagiri, Ahilyanagar, Pune, Kolhapur, Satara, Sangli, Solapur, Latur, and Dharashiv. Respite from heat for Delhi residents According to the latest IMD forecast, the residents of Delhi are expected to get a brief respite from the heat, with prediction of rainfall and thunderstorm today in parts of the national capital. According to the seven-day IMD forecast for Delhi, light to moderate rains are expected in the capital on May 21 and 22, with party cloudy skies for the rest of the week. Delhi's minimum temperature is expected to settle at 27 degrees Celsius today, which is two degrees less than yesterday. The city's maximum temperature is forecasted to remain below 40 degrees Celsius for today and tomorrow.

Wetter & not that hot: Why is summer of 2025 atypical so far?
The summer of 2025 has been unusual so far. High day temperatures, typically reaching between 40 degrees and 45 degrees Celsius, and heatwave days have been largely absent, and May, in particular, has been exceptionally wet in many parts of the country — with thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rain and, in some cases, hail. Pre-monsoon status TEMPERATURE: No record-breaking temperatures have been reported from any part of the country from the beginning of March until May 18 this year, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said. In March, maximum temperatures remained higher than normal over Central India, but the rest of the country experienced normal temperatures. In April, parts of Maharashtra, Odisha, and Jammu and Kashmir saw one or two short heatwave spells, and some longer episodes and above-normal heatwave days prevailed over Gujarat and Rajasthan. But as a whole, the country's Core Heatwave Zone (CHZ) — spanning Central, North, and Peninsular India between Gujarat and West Bengal, which is prone to heatwave conditions every year from March to June and occasionally in July — has not as yet experienced a significant heatwave episode this summer. A cooler-than-usual summer over large geographical areas of the country has contributed to keeping all-India average temperatures within the normal range. RAINFALL: Overall, Southern Peninsular India has benefited from intermittent spells of rain throughout the ongoing pre-monsoon season. This trend was observed in April over the Central Indian region. (See box). Why this trend this year The primary reason for a wetter- and cooler-than-usual summer so far has been the frequent passage of streams of western disturbances in the lower latitudes. Western disturbances are eastward-bound winds that originate in the Mediterranean Sea and cause rain or snow along their way. There were four such episodes in March and April, and there have been two in May so far. There has also been a continuous incursion of moisture from the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea into the Indian mainland, with the subsequent wind interactions causing rainfall and thundershowers. Following a thunderstorm event, the maximum temperature generally falls by 5-7 degrees Celsius. An especially wet May The month of May usually sees higher-than-normal temperatures, with North, Northwest and Central India experiencing heatwave conditions. This May, however, a heatwave has been reported on only one day — May 1 — and it has been limited to pockets of southwest Rajasthan, the IMD has said. In fact, May this year has been exceptionally wet over the South and Central Indian regions. Consecutive western disturbances during May 2-3 and May 3-7 led to prolonged wet spells accompanied by severe thunderstorms over Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Saurashtra-Kutch, Gujarat, Haryana, Delhi, Gangetic West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Mahe, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Over the past three weeks, Northwest India has experienced thunderstorms resulting in above normal rainfall and normal or below normal maximum temperatures. The weekly all-India rainfall (May 2-8) stood at a 20% surplus. As a result, the maximum temperatures over the West, Central, and Eastern Indian regions dropped by 2-5 degrees Celsius below normal. In addition, below normal minimum temperatures (departure 1-3 degrees Celsius) were recorded over the East and Central India regions, the IMD has said. In the week May 8-14, rainfall activity continued as a result of the May 8-13 western disturbance. The continuing moisture supply from the seas brought ample rainfall, lowering temperatures over Tripura, Meghalaya, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Sikkim, Saurashtra, Kutch, Konkan, Goa, South Interior Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Mahe, Rayalaseema, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Odisha. The southwest monsoon advanced into parts of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Andaman Sea, and some areas of the Bay of Bengal during the week. The weekly all-India rainfall remained 35% above normal. Last week, the all-India weekly average maximum temperature was 3-5 degrees Celsius below normal over West, Central, and North India. Normal temperatures prevailed over remaining parts of the country. The minimum temperatures fell 1-3 degrees Celsius below normal over the West and Central Indian regions. Outlook going forward Even though normal or below temperatures and above normal rainfall have been recorded for the majority of days in May, the IMD has said there is a likelihood of the development of heatwave conditions over Northwest India towards the end of the month. Rajasthan and Haryana will experience a heatwave until May 23. Summer over North and Northwest India extends well into June and its end is marked by the onset of the southwest monsoon during the latter half of June or in early July. However, this year, the southwest monsoon is expected to hit the Kerala coast – considered the official onset of the southwest monsoon over India – on May 27. While onset is not an indicator of the future advance of the monsoon, if weather conditions are favourable, the possibility of a normal advance of the monsoon and an early onset over the country as a whole cannot be ruled out.
