The maximum temperature is likely to settle at 35 degrees Celsius and minimum temperature will be recorded at 29 degrees Celsius.
Many parts of the city like Dadar, Kandivali, Magathane, Oshiwara, Wadala, Ghatkopar witnessed showers in the range of 4 mm to 26 mm between 7 am and 8 am.

Traffic normal
According to officials, road traffic and <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/weather-update-imd-issues-heatwave-alert-for-mumbai-and-thane-23349344" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">trains services</a> were running normal in the city. Monsoon usually arrives in Mumbai in the second week of June.
Last month, Mumbai witnessed unseasonal rain with gusty winds during which a hoarding collapsed in Ghatkopar area, claiming several lives.
El Nino ending
The 2023-24 El-Nino event, which drove record-breaking temperatures and extreme weather around the world, is predicted to transition to La-Nina conditions later this year, according to a new update from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The world experienced the warmest April ever and the 11th consecutive month of record-high temperatures this year. Sea-surface temperatures have been record-high for the last 13 months, according to the WMO.
The WMO said this is happening due to the naturally-occurring El Nino -- unusual warming of waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean -- and the additional energy trapped in the atmosphere and ocean by greenhouse gases from human activities.
Amid a prevailing but weakening El Nino, millions of people in South Asia, including India and Pakistan, endured brutal heat in April and May.
The latest forecasts from the WMO Global Producing Centres of Long-Range Forecasts give equal chances (50 per cent) to either neutral conditions or a transition to La Nina during June-August.
