Monsoon Arrival Delayed Until June 15

The prolonged spell of heat and humidity comes as Mumbai awaits the arrival of the southwest monsoon. The monsoon, which typically reaches the city by June 11, has been delayed this year.

According to the India Meteorological Department, the southwest monsoon is now expected to arrive in Mumbai by June 15. The weather system has already advanced along the Konkan coast in southern Maharashtra after making landfall in Kerala on June 4.

The delay marks a contrast to last year, when Mumbai witnessed the earliest onset of the monsoon on record. In 2025, the rains reached the city on May 26, bringing an early start to the season. This year, residents are instead facing several additional days of humid and uncomfortable weather before widespread rainfall is expected.

Air Quality Remains in the Moderate Category

Despite the delayed rains, Mumbai's air quality remained relatively stable on Friday morning. The city's Air Quality Index was recorded at 58, placing it in the moderate category.

Among the major pollutants, PM2.5 levels stood at 14 micrograms per cubic metre, while PM10 concentrations were measured at 20 micrograms per cubic metre. Carbon monoxide was recorded at 268 parts per billion, while ozone levels stood at 17 parts per billion. Nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide levels were recorded at 6 and 4 parts per billion respectively.

While the AQI remains within acceptable limits for most people, the anticipated arrival of monsoon showers is expected to improve air quality further by helping disperse airborne pollutants across the city.
