Scanty monsoon rains leave Maharashtra dry as Mumbai temperatures hit 33.6 degrees

On Friday, June 26, 2026, Maharashtra experienced weak and highly scattered monsoon rainfall, leaving the majority of the state dry and still awaiting consistent seasonal showers. The uneven weather pattern was highly visible across various districts, including Mumbai's island city and its suburbs, where temperatures remained warm due to the lack of widespread precipitation.

The current weather pattern across Maharashtra highlights a clear imbalance in rainfall distribution. While a few districts in the state managed to report light precipitation, most regions remained completely dry. This patchy nature of the monsoon activity has left large parts of the state waiting for more widespread and steady rainfall.

In Mumbai, the scanty rainfall contributed to higher daytime temperatures on Friday. According to weather observations, Mumbai's suburbs recorded a maximum temperature of 33.6 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the island city area of Mumbai recorded a maximum temperature of 31.6 degrees Celsius.

The weak monsoon activity on June 26 reflects a broader trend of highly uneven showers confined only to select pockets of Maharashtra. Districts and residents across the state continue to experience dry spells as they wait for the monsoon currents to strengthen and bring more consistent rainfall to the region.
