Rains lashed several parts of Mumbai for the second consecutive day on Monday (June 22, 2026), bringing much-needed relief from the prevailing heat and humidity across the city. Moderate to heavy showers accompanied by thunder were reported from multiple locations during the morning hours, while overcast skies and cool winds made for a pleasant start to the day.
According to civic officials, some areas recorded intense rainfall within a short span, though no major incidents of waterlogging or disruption to public transport services were reported. The showers, however, affected visibility and slowed traffic movement at a few locations.
The southwest monsoon, which typically reaches Mumbai around June 10, has been delayed this year after its advance stalled due to unfavourable weather conditions. The latest spell of rain has renewed hopes of further monsoon progress along the west coast.
No significant waterlogging or other rain-related incidents were reported, while public transport services continued to operate normally, officials said.
