Published on June 2, 2017 at 11:00 AM: Mumbai rains have been making special appearances for the past few days. So much so that the city has been witnessing light rainfall giving residents the assurance that the much-awaited Monsoon is just around the corner.
The last 24 hours were also proof that the Monsoon over Kerala is taking baby steps towards making its announcement over the maximum city in just about ten days or less. During the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Thursday, the Santa Cruz observatory recorded a good moderate spell of 8 mm. On the other hand, Colaba witnessed light rainfall of 6 mm.
These weather conditions can be attributed to the presence of a trough running along the West Coast. Due to this, moisture incursion has been increasing from the Arabian Sea resulting in cloud development over the area.
As per weathermen at Skymet Weather, light rains with isolated moderate spells are likely to continue over Mumbai until June 4. Thereafter, June 5 onward, the intensity of these Pre-Monsoon showers is expected to increase and good rains will continue over the maximum city until the commencement of Monsoon.
