Mumbai experienced its wettest May in over a century, breaking a 107-year-old record, as the monsoon arrived on May 26, marking its earliest onset in 25 years. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) upgraded the city's weather warning from orange to red, indicating extremely heavy rainfall. The early monsoon has caused significant disruptions, including waterlogged streets and transportation delays. Experts attribute the unusual weather patterns to low-pressure systems over the Arabian Sea. The IMD advises residents to stay alert and take necessary precautions as heavy rains are expected to continue. (PC: Hindustan Times & India Today)
