The month of August in terms of Monsoon showers was unsatisfactory for the city of Mumbai. Whereas, considering the early two months, i.e., June and July, they were still profitable as the latter month ended up exceeding 1000 mm of rain.

As of August 26, the city of Mumbai has recorded 215.4 mm of rainfall as against the monthly mean average of 585.2 mm. In consonance with the findings, this is the second lowest rainfall amount in the last 10 years after 2015, when the city had registered 153.9 mm of rain only.
Mumbai receives rain and thundershowers attributable to the active offshore trough that runs along the West Coast, which remained sluggish this entire month. Another factor that conduces in the typical Mumbai Monsoon showers is influential weather systems that travel from the Bay of Bengal in the proximity of the region. However, during this month such weather features abstracted the enticing city of India.

Mumbai did witness good rainfall of approximately 25 mm but that was just one day on August 21. Though effectually it rained every day but that was either just a drizzle or merely short duration of sharp showers.
Even for the remaining days of the month, we do not expect much change in the continual weather pattern. As reported by weathermen, mainly light rain would prevail over the city with few short moderate spells. Thus, August is surely ending at a lower than the normal rainfall.
During the last 24 hours, Santa Cruz Observatory in Mumbai recorded 9 mm of rains and Colaba Observatory saw 8 mm.
Primarily, Mumbai has been witnessing good weather conditions, as in cloudy skies, maximums in low 30s and minimums in mid-20s. It’s just the typical Mumbai Monsoon showers that are missing to spice it all.
