Mumbai Rains: Internet Can't Keep Calm As City Wakes Up To Unseasonal Rainfall

Mumbai experienced sudden showers at the beginning of March, leaving many surprised. Areas like South Mumbai, Andheri, Bandra Kurla Complex and Borivali, saw moderate rainfall. Kalyan, Thane and Palghar in Maharashtra also witnessed “moderate to slight heavy showers”. The monsoon months in Mumbai typically span from June to September. The rain offered much respite from the high temperatures in the city. Soon after the overnight and early morning showers, Mumbaikars flooded social media platforms with photos, videos and memes. And we bet it will leave you in splits.

Mumbai Nowcast, a popular weather forecast account on X, posted a video and wrote, “1st day of March and Mumbaikars woke up to unseasonal rains especially Thane Interiors. Lots of fluctuation in temperature last few days. Take care of your health as this is not ideal weather. Visuals from Kalyan- Cloudy skies.”

The memes and posts on X by Mumbaikars are sure to leave you in splits. In response to the unpredictable weather change, one user humorously posted, “March begins with light showers in Mumbai. Did nature prepone April Fool’s Day?”

Another person described their experience of witnessing the unseasonal rains as, “Slept in February and woke up in July.”

Someone else jokingly questioned, “Did we skip summer?”

Adding humour to the situation, a resident of Mumbai said, “Rains on 1st March is the second most strange thing my family saw today. First one is that I woke up early.”
