Despite the rising discomfort, the Mumbai and Maharashtra weather conditions have not yet met the criteria for a declared heatwave.

As per reports, Mumbai’s weather looks quite different when compared to other parts of Maharashtra.

Nagpur will intermittently have stormy conditions with high daytime temperatures, while Pune may enjoy slightly lower temperature record-breaking high day temperatures, as well as the possibility for pre-monsoon rains/storms. The Thane area will still be one of the hottest areas, and parts of Maharashtra will continue to oscillate between hot summertime weather and springtime-type weather conditions.

Mumbai and Maharashtra weather: Trough systems driving changing patterns

The broader Mumbai and Maharashtra weather changes are being influenced by active atmospheric systems. One trough currently extends from an upper air cyclonic circulation over Haryana to the northeast Arabian Sea via Rajasthan. Another north-south trough stretches from Vidarbha down to the Comorin area, passing through Telangana, Rayalaseema, and interior Tamil Nadu. These systems are playing a key role in creating a mix of heat in some regions and storm activity in others.
