Neighbouring Thane city is under a ‘yellow alert’ for Sunday, with a likely chance of thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds at a few places. Rain is forecasted in Thane from Friday till Tuesday.

“There is a lot of thunderstorm activity ongoing over Madhya Maharashtra, contributed due to the interaction of winds and a trough,” said Sunil Kamble, head of IMD Mumbai. “This will contribute to very light rains over Mumbai.”

Temperatures are expected to stay in the same range on Saturday but will see a slight fall during the rain.
