SkyWatch Weather India has issued a red alert for Palghar district and several parts of South Gujarat, including Vapi and Valsad, warning of very heavy rainfall from Wednesday night until Thursday evening.
Authorities have urged residents to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel as disaster management teams have been placed on high alert. Local administrations are closely monitoring water levels in low-lying areas and coordinating with weather agencies to provide timely updates.
In Mumbai, Thane, and Raigad, fresh showers are expected between 10 pm Wednesday and 1 pm Thursday, with rainfall projected between 60 mm and 90 mm. Officials, however, confirmed that the worst phase of heavy rains in Mumbai is over, though waterlogging and traffic disruptions may still occur in several pockets.
An official from SkyWatch Weather India stated:
“Palghar and South Gujarat are likely to see intense rainfall in the next 24 hours. While Mumbai continues to receive showers, extreme conditions are unlikely there.”
Travel advisories have been issued, cautioning citizens against visiting coastal regions and urging commuters to stay updated on transport alerts. Emergency helplines have been activated, and residents are advised to prepare for possible disruptions.
With the monsoon currents strengthening along the Konkan coast, weather experts warn that Palghar, Vapi, and Valsad could face flash floods if rainfall intensifies overnight.
