Updated on October 10, 2024, a significant thunderstorm struck Mumbai and its surrounding areas on Thursday night, catching residents off guard. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had only projected light to moderate rain with a ‘yellow’ alert, yet the city experienced heavy rain accompanied by violent thunderstorms and lightning instead. The storm affected Thane, the Kalyan-Badlapur belt, and Navi Mumbai, with a thunderstorm alert issued for these areas.
Many residents took to social media platform X to share videos and express their surprise and concerns over the drastic weather change. Users described the scene with phrases like “Nature’s fury on full display” and “Mumbai getting a mad storm ATM,” highlighting the powerful visuals of the lightning and thunderstorms.

The downpour resulted in waterlogging in several low-lying parts of the city, disrupting daily life and dampening Navratri festival celebrations, particularly affecting ‘garba’ dance events. Issues related to climate change were raised by concerned citizens, while others commented on Mumbai’s complex relationship with the monsoon—balancing its beauty and challenges. Despite the disruptions, residents celebrated the resilience and indomitable spirit of the city.
