Follow hourly rain updates for Mumbai and weather forecast as we build-up to the MI vs DC match.
No rain yet in Mumbai. The temperature is on the higher side (34 degrees Celsius). The prediction says there could be thunderstorms from late Wednesday night through Thursday morning.

The AccuWeather, it seems, has updated its forecast. The probability of precipitation was 80% at the start of the day, but now it has fallen to 24%. This doesn’t mean we cannot see a washout, but the chances of it during the MI vs DC have significantly reduced.

As per the hourly updates, the chances of rain around the start of the match are not very high. The probability of precipitation is only around 7-17% between 11 PM to 1 AM. This indicates that the MI vs DC match will be completed even if rain comes. But rain in Mumbai doesn’t always follow the forecast.

The prediction was for rain and thunderstorms in the later morning and afternoon on Wednesday in morning but it’s dry and cloudy at the moment. Humidity is very high.

One of the most reliable weather forecasters on X for Mumbai, Mumbai Rains, says that there is a “High chance of rain during today’s #MIvsDC match at Wankhede.”

Only one spot is left in the IPL playoffs race and only two teams — MI and DC are still alive in the knockouts competition. MI and DC have both played 12 matches each but Mumbai have 14 points so far while Delhi are on 13. MI need just a win today and they will reach the playoffs.
A DC win will take the playoffs race to the final round of the IPL league phase. Both teams play Punjab Kings in their final matches.
So AccuWeather says the chances of rain today in Mumbai stand at 80%, but there’s a catch. According to hourly forecasts, there was a 71% chance of rain in Mumbai around 11 AM on Wednesday, dropping to 20% by 1 PM and remaining steady until 5 PM. Around toss time at 7 PM, the rain probability further drops to 7% and stays at that level through midnight.
The chance of precipitation rises again to around 49% by 1 AM on Thursday (22 May), but the match should be completed by then, provided rain doesn’t disrupt the start.
It’s not raining at the moment in Mumbai, though there were predictions of heavy rain and thunderstorms in late morning. Here’s what the weather looks like currently.

Mumbai Weather LIVE Updates, MI vs DC: The highly-anticipated Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai faces a washout as the Indian Meteorological Department has issued a Yellow Alert for Wednesday (21 May). As per AccuWeather, there’s an 80% chance of rain in Mumbai today (Wednesday), which could impact the IPL 2025 match between MI and DC.
The MI vs DC match is highly important from the IPL 2025 playoffs perspective . MI are on 14 points while DC are on 13 points with two matches left for both teams. However, if MI win today, they will be guaranteed a place in the playoffs and DC will be eliminated. Only one playoff spot is up for grabs in the IPL 2025 and only two teams – MI and DC are still alive in the race.
Naturally, Delhi Capitals would aim to avoid a defeat, but they would also not want a washout because then the points will be split and Mumbai will continue to hold the one-point advantage over Delhi. DC would ideally want to beat MI and take the playoffs race to the last round of the IPL league stage.
The good news here is that while there are predictions for rain and thunderstorms in Mumbai on Wednesday, the forecast for the evening is much better , with most of the rain expected to take place in late morning and afternoon. In such a case, the match may get impacted by rain, but the organisers might also manage to complete the game.
