In several Indian regions, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued weather alerts, predicting heavy rainfall in Mumbai and portions of West Bengal and showers in Delhi.
Mumbai is expected to see a lot of rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms from May 21 to 24. A cyclonic circulation over the east-central Arabian Sea is the source of this weather pattern, which is predicted to change into a low-pressure area on or around May 22. The IMD has issued a yellow alert, alerting residents of Mumbai and the surrounding areas to potential disruptions.
Heavy rains on Tuesday led to traffic congestion and waterlogging across the city, particularly in the eastern and western suburbs. According to officials, these areas experienced more intense pre-monsoon showers than the city centre.
The IMD forecasts thunderstorms in the southern regions of West Bengal through Friday, while the northern districts will see a lot of rainfall. These conditions are being aided by favourable wind patterns from the Bay of Bengal and an upper air cyclonic circulation over north Bangladesh.

With the IMD predicting thunderstorms and rain on Wednesday, May 21, Delhi should see some relief from the current heatwave. It is anticipated that the lowest temperature will be around 28°C, and the highest temperature may be around 39°C. Tuesday saw a high of 41.8°C in the capital along with higher humidity.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay informed about the latest weather forecasts and take the necessary precautions. The IMD will monitor weather patterns and provide updates as needed.
