Mumbai has recently transitioned from heavy monsoon rains to unusually high temperatures, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) recording day temperatures above normal at 32.8°C and 33.5°C. While the monsoon officially ended on September 30, the region experienced 2,641mm and 3,089mm of rain, respectively, significantly above average. Looking ahead, the IMD predicts above-average rainfall for October, which could disrupt the harvesting of summer-sown crops, causing concern among farmers. The delayed withdrawal of the monsoon, which is expected to fully occur by mid-October, has also raised temperatures across Maharashtra. Moreover, regions like Pune are experiencing increased heat due to a lack of cloud cover and high humidity, although the heat is considered manageable with caution. The upcoming weather shifts highlight the critical role of the monsoon season in India's agricultural and water supply systems.
