Besides, a high tide of 4.36 metres is expected at 12.40 pm in Mumbai. Also, a low tide of 0.70 metres is likely to occur at 6.49 pm today.
When there is a high tide during the rainy season, it becomes difficult for the flooded water to recede. Low tide helps floodwaters in the city to find an outlet to enter the seas.
An IMD official said that widespread light to moderate rains will continue in intermittent spells and will subside thereafter.
A low-pressure area is expected to pass over the Bay of Bengal sometime early next week, and rainfall activity will regain intensity around then. IMD has forecast moderate rainfall till the end of the week for Mumbai.
Meanwhile, the intensity of rainfall is likely to reduce from Thursday, September 23, in the city.
Moreover, nine districts in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha are placed under a yellow category storm warning alert. The Met Department has warned of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms with lightning at few places.
The IMD's regional centre has forecast heavy rainfall and thunderstorms with lightning and issued the alert for one or two places in Nagpur, Bhandara, Gondia, Amravati, Wardha, Gadchiroli, Chandrapur, Yavatmal and Washim districts today, September 22.
