Over the next two days, the monsoon showers are expected to be light to moderate. However, the weather is set to intensify on August 4, with heavy rainfall anticipated in the evening and night. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has also issued a high tide alert. According to their update on X, the high tide timings are 11:47 AM (4.28 meters) and 11:37 PM (3.66 meters), while low tide will occur at 5:52 PM (1.70 meters) and 5:38 AM on August 4 (0.75 meters).

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for heavy to very heavy rainfall in the districts of Palghar, Thane, and Raigad, effective until August 6.

Additionally, Pune and Satara have been placed under a red alert for extremely heavy rain.

IMD Director Mrutyunjay Mohapatra announced that India is likely to experience normal to above-normal rains in August and September, due to developing La Niña conditions.
