Mumbai is under the grip of moderate rain showers on September 5, 2025, shaking up daily life with waterlogged streets and traffic jams. The weather site AQI.in reports a 95% chance of rain through the day, and temperatures are cool, staying between 25.4°C and 26.6°C with humidity around 85%. Yesterday, the air was moderately polluted with an AQI-IN of 60, mainly from PM2.5 and PM10 particles measured at 22 µg/m³ and 60 µg/m³ respectively. The city's usual buzz slowed down as the Mithi river overflowed, flooding nearby areas and causing travel headaches. Winds picked up speed to 18 km/h by late afternoon, and visibility dropped to 9.6 km, making driving tricky. Carbon monoxide levels were also a concern at 395 µg/m³ due to vehicle traffic. However, the consistent rain might help wash away some pollution, offering a silver lining. Looking ahead, moderate rain is set to continue on Friday and Saturday, with temperatures steady between 25.5°C and 26.6°C. Sunday may bring lighter showers, while Monday expects patchy rains as temperatures rise to 27.7°C. Scattered showers are forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday with warm days at about 28.3°C. Thursday looks to be the brightest day with little rain. Health and safety experts urge residents to gear up with umbrellas and raincoats, and to stay indoors if possible. "Sensitive groups are advised to limit outdoor exposure, particularly during peak traffic hours," they warn. Caution on the roads is a must due to slick conditions and low visibility. The mix of rain, traffic pollution, and high humidity calls for extra care, especially for those with breathing issues. So, while the rains drench Mumbai in a dramatic splash, the city and its people brace themselves for the week's wet and wild weather adventure. Stay dry, stay safe, and keep an eye on the skies!
