The India Meteorological Department (IMD) verified that the southwest monsoon made its earliest appearance over Maharashtra in 35 years on Sunday night, bringing with it heavy rains and thunderstorms to Mumbai. A Red Alert has been issued for 11 districts in Kerala and an Orange Alert has been issued for the Konkan region, which includes Goa and coastal Maharashtra, due to this unusual weather pattern.
The First Monsoon Arrives After 35 Years
The monsoon officially arrived in Maharashtra on May 25, 2025, which is much earlier than the usual June commencement, according to the IMD. Given that this is the state's first documented monsoon arrival since 1990, an active and severe rainfall season may be in store.
Rainfall and the grip of thunderstorms Mumbai
Heavy rains, lightning, and strong gusts caused localized waterlogging in a number of low-lying parts of Mumbai, the financial center of India. The IMD has advised citizens to remain indoors during periods of heavy precipitation and has issued precautionary advice for commuters.

Given the likelihood of heavy to extremely heavy rainfall over the next 48 hours, the IMD has issued a Red Alert for 11 districts in Kerala. District administrations are working with disaster management teams to coordinate emergency preparedness measures throughout the state in an effort to limit damage and prevent casualties.
Rescue by the NDRF in Solapur
Six people who were stranded in Solapur, Maharashtra, due to a flash flood were safely rescued by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) on Sunday. Relief efforts are continuing in neighboring flood-prone communities, and all rescued people are said to be safe.
Rainfall Prediction: Orange Alert for Konkan and Goa
The Konkan coast, which includes Mumbai, Ratnagiri, and Goa, is under Orange Alert for the next three days, according to the most recent IMD report. It is anticipated that these areas may have sporadic thunderstorms and lightning strikes in addition to 7 to 20 mm of rainfall per hour.
What Will Happen to the Monsoon Next?
Over the next 72 hours, it is anticipated that the southwest monsoon will continue to move into central India, southern Gujarat, and Mumbai. The IMD is keeping a careful eye on its development and revising regional projections as necessary.
