The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts the southwest monsoon's arrival in Mumbai around June 10-11, following its progression from the Andaman Islands to Kerala by May 31. Although the exact date awaits confirmation after monitoring Kerala's weather, pre-monsoon showers are likely by month-end, potentially easing the city's hot and humid conditions. Meteorologists predict gradual intensification of rainfall, with pre-monsoon activity anticipated from late May, intensifying into June. This contrasts with 2023's delayed monsoon arrival attributed to Cyclone Biparjoy. Mumbai residents brace for relief as temperatures soar to nearly 35 degrees Celsius amidst humid conditions.
