IMD sounds season’s first ‘red’ alert for weekend across MMR; schools shut in Thane, Palghar districts
Mumbai braces for intense rainfall as the India Meteorological Department issues its first 'red' alert for the weekend across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Heavy to extremely heavy showers are anticipated, prompting holidays for schools in Palghar and Thane districts. This alert stems from a confluence of active monsoon systems, with widespread rainfall expected across Maharashtra until July 7. Water stocks in city-supplying lakes have seen a slight increase.
