Heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds led to a dust storm-like situation in Mumbai on Monday, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue a warning for the district. The weather conditions resulted in reduced visibility in many areas and also caused some damage, including instances of trees falling and hoardings collapsing. Power supply disruptions were reported in Matunga, Dadar, and Prabhadevi.

The IMD also raised its yellow alert to orange for Thane and Satara, where heavy downpour was witnessed. Various areas of Thane district, including Kalyan, Ambernath, Diva, and Mumbra, experienced heavy showers, while the eastern suburbs of Mumbai saw light drizzles.

Unseasonal showers were witnessed in parts of Gujarat, while strong winds accompanied by a duststorm hit Ahmedabad on Monday. The meteorological department has forecast light rains with thunderstorms in several districts in the next three days. Ahmedabad witnessed a sudden change in weather on Monday evening, as strong winds and a duststorm accompanied by light rainfall in the evening reduced visibility in the city. Hoardings were damaged in Ahmedabad, and a mobile tower got uprooted in Gandhinagar, with no report of casualties.

The sudden change in the weather also brought respite from the sweltering heat. Similar conditions were witnessed in other parts of the state, including Amreli, Banaskantha and Sabarkantha, while in some regions, rains were accompanied by hail showers.
