Mumbai rains have been on back seat for the last few days. In fact, during the last 24 hours, the state capital has recorded mere 1 mm of rains only.
In wake of these light showers in the last few days, Mumbaikars have been reeling under sultry weather conditions.
Though there had been a cyclonic circulation over Southwest Rajasthan but the off-shore trough which was running from Konkan and Goa to Kerala had weakened significantly. As a result, Monsoon remained subdued over Mumbai.

But now, we expect westerly winds to the strengthen over Konkan and Goa region, which will also reactivate the off-shore trough once again. Therefore, intensity of rains may increase over Mumbai in the next 48 hours and moderate showers may lash the city till July 15. However, the famous three-digit rainfall will still continue to escape the maximum city.

Weathermen predict that rains to the tune of 20 mm-30 mm are likely during the next few days. One or two places may record short spell of heavy rains but these rains will not be as severe as to lead to water logging.
With these rains in offing, sultry weather conditions would be replaced with comfortable weather.
So far, Mumbai has recorded 190 mm of rain. However, there is a daunting target of 799 mm of monthly average rains.
