Mumbai rains were on a high during the last few days of June. Not only this, the first two days of July also resulted in some heavy to very heavy spells of rains over the city.
However, after the heavy rain saga, Southwest Monsoon seems to have taken a backseat over Mumbai. In fact, rains have remained in single digits only for quite some time now. The last 24 hours were not too different from the other days when the city received light to moderate rains only.
In a span of 24 hours, Mumbai recorded just about 10 mm of rain in its Santacruz observatory. The rainfall condition was all the worse at Colaba with 2 a mere 2 mm of rainfall.

These weather conditions can be attributed to the absence of any significant weather system close to the region. Not only this, the offshore trough which was active and giving good rains over Mumbai and other adjoining areas has also become very feeble.

As far as the forecast for Mumbai is concerned, weathermen at Skymet believe that the maximum city will continue to witness light rains with a few moderate showers. However, the possibility of heavy rains is not very likely at this point of time. Looks like Mumbaikars will have to wait for a little longer to receive heavy rains.
