Mumbai rains to take a short break before pouring again
After bouncing good rains over most parts ofMaharashtraand particularly over Mumbai, it seems that rains have now bid adieu to the state.
From past few days, Mumbai has been thriving for good rains but unfortunately, not much showers had been recorded.
In the last 24 hours as well, Mumbai city has not witnessed any showers. In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Thursday, the Santa Cruz observatory as well as the Colaba observatory have not witnessed even an inch of rains.
However, the cyclonic circulation which was overChhattisgarhnow lies over South Chhattisgarh and adjoining Vidarbha region. Hence, a few light rainy spells along with isolated moderate showers during night are foreseen over the state capital for another 24 hours.
Thereafter, by October 2, Mumbai city may witness some isolated showers as well.
Mainly partly cloudy sky will prevail over the city and temperatures are also likely to scale up to a small extent.
Subdued Monsoon keeps Mumbai weather dry
Mumbaihas been mainly dry for last two days, barring one or two places which have recorded very light or only traces of rain. In span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, Santa Cruz Observatory recorded mere traces of rain, while Colaba Observatory reported no rains.
According to Skymet Weather, Monsoon has been subdued over the city for the last few days in absence of any significant weather system.
Further, similar weather conditions are likely to continue during the next 24 hours as well. However, with the presence of moisture in the air, patchy light rains cannot be ruled out.
Monsoon rains will continue to be on break for at least next two days. Thereafter, we can expect intensity of rains to increase once again and light to moderate showers will reappear.
Monsoon rains have dried up in the city of Mumbai
From what it looks like, the Monsoon rains have bid adieu to the City Of Dreams. During last 24 hours there has not been any rainfall activity seen over Mumbai. In fact, both the observatories in Mumbai recorded almost nil rainfall.
In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Tuesday, the Santa Cruz observatory had witnessed 1.6 mm of rains while the Colaba observatory received 0 mm showers.
The absence of rainfall is due to the absence of any significant weather system over the region.
The weather conditions are near palpable as the afternoons are sultry with high humidity levels. During morning and evening, the city can observe the cool sea breeze making the weather conditions better.
As of now also, no noteworthy weather system is prevailing but localized development of clouds due to close proximity of the region to Arabian Sea may give occasional light showers over Mumbai. These rains are mainly expected towards early morning or late afternoon.
Light rains yet to continue over Mumbai
Good rains have been lashing the capital city ofMaharashtrafrom past few days now. During last 24 hours as well, the city has received decent rains. In fact, the day before also, Colaba observatory in Mumbai has witnessed extremely good rainfall recording three digit rains as well.

However, no significant weather system has been prevailing over the region but instability in upper air has basically caused light rains over the state capital.
As of now also, no noteworthy weather system is prevailing but localized development of clouds due to close proximity of the region to Arabian Sea may give occasional light showers over Mumbai. These rains are mainly expected towards early morning or late afternoon.
Mornings and evenings are expected to remain breezy with humid afternoons. Temperatures particularly during day will see a marginal rise. Mainly partly cloudy sky is expected over the city of joy.
Colaba in Mumbai receives 165 mm of rain, more showers ahead
Mumbai rains have been a surprise package in the month of September. Usually, the city receives the least amount of rains in September as compared to the other three Monsoon months. However, this year has been different.
A few days ago, it seemed like heavy Monsoon rains had taken a step back and would only return during the next Monsoon season. However, rain gods had a surprise in store and Mumbai witnessed some record breaking rains during the last few days.
The maximum city has been receiving heavy rains for the past six days now and showers are expected to continue during the next 24 hours as well. During the last 24 hours, from 8:30 am on Friday, Colaba received a whopping 165 mm of rainfall. The Santa Cruz observatory also witnessed heavy rains of 93 mm during the same time frame.
This Monsoon season has only brought good news for the maximum city and Mumbai has received quite a few heavy spells during the past few days. Southwest Monsoon is expected to end on a very positive note for the maximum city.
Monsoon rains to take a break over Mumbai
Mumbai has received heavy to very heavy rain in the last 48 hours. But now the heavy rainfall saw a decrease in intensity in the last 24 hours. The rain intensity has decreased evidently over the city but sky happens to remain overcast.
From 08:30 am on Thursday to 08:30 am on Friday, Colaba observatory in Mumbai recorded 45 mm of rainfall. During the same 24 hours Santa Cruz observatory recorded heavy rains of 39.7 mm.
Due to the overcast nature of sky and weakening of the Monsoon surge we expect few good spell of Monsoon rains to continue for another 24 hours. These rains may be moderate in nature but thereafter the intensity in rainfall will decrease drastically.
Scattered light rain will go on till September 26. On September 27-28, another surge is expected around that time. The rain intensity will once again increase and we expect few moderate to heavy showers to return over the Maximum City.

In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Wednesday, the Colaba observatory had recorded a whopping 146 mm of rains while the Santa Cruz observatory received 104 mm rainfall.
These rains can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation that was over Saurashtra and SouthGujaratregion. This has increased the Monsoon surge over Konkan and Goa region. With this, moderate to heavy rain and thundershowers will continue over Mumbai during the next 24 to 48 hours as well. However, these rains are likely to be intermittent in nature.
Till date, the city has already received around 570 mm of rainfall as compared to its monthly average rainfall of 312.3 mm. Hence, the city has surpassed its monthly mean. With more rain on the cards, the rain surplus of the city is likely to increase even more.

The Santa Cruz observatory in Mumbai receives a total of 312.3 mm of rainfall normally in the month of September. Till date it has already received 322.5 mm of rainfall. Hence, the city has surpassed its monthly mean.
Moderate with isolated heavy rains will continue for another 24-48 hours over the city. Thereafter, the intensity of rainfall may reduce over the city.
Monsoon rains continue to lash Mumbai city
Good rains have been lashing the capital city ofMaharashtrafrom past few days now. During last 24 hours as well, the city has received good rains. In fact, the day before also, Mumbai has witnessed extremely good rainfall recording three digit rains as well.
In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Sunday, the Santa Cruz observatory had witnessed 35.4 mm of rains while the Colaba observatory received 30.8 mm showers.
Reason for these showers can be attributed to an upper air cyclonic circulation that persist over southwestMadhya Pradeshand adjoining Gujarat region including north Madhya Maharashtra.
The monthly average rainfall for the city of dreams is 312.3 mm and till date the city has already received 300.3 mm of rains. Hence, in a nutshell, it seems that Mumbai city will be able to surpass its monthly average pretty easily.
Moreover, the weather of Mumbai is also forecasted to remain partly cloudy with possibility of moderate rains.
Mumbai inching towards monthly mean rainfall
Southwest Monsoon continues to bring good showers over Mumbai. In fact, the city has been receiving continuous rains for the third consecutive day. During last 24 hours, the city of dreams recorded 57 mm of rainfall.
The Santa Cruz observatory in Mumbai receives a total of 312.3 mm of rainfall normally in the month of September. So far the city has received 264.9 mm of rainfall.
Moderate to heavy rains will continue for another 24 hours over the city. Few places could receive very heavy showers as well. Skymet Weather expects that the intensity of rainfall will reduce over the city after September 19. Nevertheless, moderate rains will be observed on September 20 as well. Therefore, Mumbai will easily attain its monthly normal rains by the end of the month.
Talking about the seasonal rainfall, we can see thatMumbaihas received 2447.5 mm of rainfall so far, which is 339 mm above the normal Monsoon rains.
Heavy Mumbai rains to continue, city inches closer to its monthly mean
Mumbai rains have once again picked up after light rains were observed over the maximum city. So much so that the city was witnessing dry weather conditions only. However, during the last few days, Mumbai has received good Monsoon showers.
These Monsoon rains have occurred due to the cyclonic circulation which is currently over Madhya Maharashtra. Due to this weather system, the coastal areas have been witnessing increased moisture incursion. During the next 24 hours, Mumbai is expected to receive moderate to heavy rains. The possibility of a few very heavy spells also cannot be ruled out from the city.
So far, Mumbai has recorded a good 208.2 mm of rainfall against its monthly average of 312 mm. While the possibility of surpassing its monthly mean looked bleak a while ago, it seems that the maximum city will easily be able to surpass its monthly rain figures.
More heavy Monsoon rains to lash Mumbai
After a prolonged period of dry spell, Monsoon rains have made a striking comeback over the capital state ofMaharashtraon the auspicious day of Ganpati Visarjan. Mumbai has received heavy to very heavy showers during last 24-48 hours. These Monsoon rains have created havoc over the city which remained dry for quite some time now.
In fact, in a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Thursday, the Santa Cruz Observatory inMumbaihas received a whopping of 81 mm of rainfall. And 56 mm of rains has happened over Colaba Observatory.
These rains can be attributed to the low-pressure area over Telangana and the adjoining areas. Due to this weather system, the West Coast has observed increased Monsoon rains owing to the moisture incursion over the region.
Now, this low-pressure area has become less marked, however, the associated cyclonic circulation still persists over the region. Thus, we can expect heavy to very heavy Monsoon rains over most parts of the city during the next 24-48 hours.
Mumbai rains make a grand comeback, record 64 mm rain in 3 hours
Mumbai rains were far and few for the past few days. So much so that it seemed like Monsoon rains had bid adieu to the maximum city. However, rain gods have decided to give Mumbaikars a few more days of heavy rains.
Mumbai rains have made a grand comeback now with heavy rains being recorded over many parts. While the rains were scattered yesterday, Monsoon showers have increased in terms of both spread and intensity.
During the last 6 hours between 8:30 am and 2:30 pm, Santa Cruz observatory has recorded a whopping 67 mm of rain. In fact, between 11:30 am and 2:30 pm today, a good 64 mm rainfall was received. These Monsoon rains have wreaked havoc over the maximum city which remained dry for quite some time now.
In fact, the annual Ganpati Visarjan also took a beating due to heavy rains and waterlogging in several areas.
Situation improves for Mumbai, rains blesses the city
After witnessing a prolonged dry spells, rains have finally blessed the capital state ofMaharashtra. Mumbai has witnessed a few good showers during last 24 hours.
In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Tuesday, Santa Cruz observatory received 5.7 mm rainy spells. On the contrary, during the similar time frame, the Colaba observatory witnessed 2.6 mm wet spells.
The reason for these light showers can be attributed to a low pressure area presently prevailing overAndhra Pradesh. Furthermore, this system is likely to shift westwards towards the central parts of the country.
Due to close proximity of this system over Mumbai, few more moderate to heavy showers are expected to lash the state capital by September 15. Moreover, these rains are likely to continue for another 3-4 days.
Possibility of some heavy to extremely heavy showers cannot be ruled out as well. Moreover, Mumbai is also likely to witness rainfall in three digit which the city was thriving for so long. So far Mumbai city has already recorded 69 mm of rainfall.
Monsoon rains to go relentless over Mumbai
In the city ofMumbai, at present on and off good showers are going which are light to moderate in intensity. But gradually this intensity of rains will increase gradually. We expect rain intensity to increase over Mumbai in next 24 hours.
Some moderate spells can also be expected in many parts of the city with one or two places even receiving short spell of heavy rain. Sky to remain cloudy and even the temperature will fall marginally. Mainly overcast sky can be expected over the city of Mumbai.

Good Monsoon rains to revisit Mumbai
At present, Mumbai is witnessing subdued rains from past few days. It seems as if Monsoon over the capital has taken a back seat. In a span of last 24 hours as well, Mumbai has observed light to moderate spells. During last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Monday, Colaba and Santa Cruz observatory both have recorded 9 mm of rainy spells. Nevertheless, situation seems to be favorable for Mumbai now. Rain intensity is expected to pick up pace during next 24-48 hours. Thus, Mumbai will continue to witness light to moderate spells. These good showers could be attributed to the strengthening of an off shore trough over Konkan & Goa. A Low Pressure Area can also be seen over Southeast Rajasthan along with a well-marked Low Pressure Area over Northeast Madhya Pradesh. Due to these weather systems, Monsoon surge and offshore trough will get some strength leading to moderate showers over north coastal Maharashtra including Mumbai. The actual rainfall figure for the season stands at 1534.8 mm against the normal rainfall figure of 1695.3 mm. That means the city has received 9% normal rainfall on the negative side.
