The India Meteorological Department has extended its Yellow Alert for hot and humid weather across Mumbai and the wider Konkan belt, including Thane, Palghar, Raigad, and Ratnagiri. Initially issued for a shorter duration, the warning now remains in effect until the morning of May 10. This extension reflects a steady shift in weather patterns, with conditions expected to remain oppressive rather than easing quickly. Residents are likely to experience prolonged discomfort, especially during the afternoon hours when humidity and heat combine to create a stifling atmosphere.
