Mumbai:
The New Year 2026 began on a rainy note for Mumbaikars as several parts of the country’s financial capital witnessed heavy showers on Thursday morning.
Instead of welcoming the year with the first rays of sunshine, parts of Mumbai, especially the island city, were greeted by rain.
The rains began shortly before 6 am. While it was more intense in several areas, many other places experienced drizzle. The intensity gradually reduced after 6.15 am.
Social media users reacted to the unexpected weather. “Now who would have thought that it’s going to rain on the very first day of 2026,” wrote a user X.
Another user said, “#MumbaiRains welcoming 2026 with unseasonal showers. Beautiful weather nevertheless.” The unseasonal rains made the weather pleasant in the city, many residents said.
