Southwest Monsoon May Overstay in Mumbai

Mumbai may see an extended monsoon this year, with rains expected to continue till the second week of October 2025.

According to weather experts, a slow retreat of the southwest monsoon is likely, delaying the usual withdrawal pattern.

The city, which generally witnesses monsoon withdrawal by early October, could experience light to moderate showers during this period.

Residents are advised to stay prepared for intermittent rain that may cause localised waterlogging and traffic disruptions.

With festive events the extended rainy spell could impact outdoor celebrations.

Authorities are monitoring conditions closely as Mumbai braces for an unusually long monsoon season this year.
