Mumbaikars have begun to get that Monsoon feel with the rainfall activity getting heavier each day. While just a few days ago, the rainfall activity was limited to light and moderate, rain gods have decided to bring rains in full swing over Mumbai.
The last 24 hours were rainy enough for the city of dreams with heavy rains being recorded in many areas. In a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Sunday, the Santa Cruz observatory recorded a whopping 71 mm of rainfall. Meanwhile, the Colaba observatory recorded a whopping 91 mm of rain.

Sunday was a rainy affair for Mumbai throughout the day. So much so that rainfall activity had begun during the early morning hours giving the residents another reason to celebrate the last day of the weekend and giving them some respite from the upcoming Monday blues.
These weather conditions are attributed to the presence of a trough along the West Coast running from Coastal Maharashtra up to the Kerala region. Other parts of the West Coast have also witnessed a few heavy spells of rain with some cities recording three-digit rainfall as well.

Yesterday, Southwest Monsoon made an onset over Mahabaleshwar. However, Mumbai is yet to see those Monsoon showers as Southwest Monsoon still remains a few steps away. However, conditions are highly favourable for the onset of Monsoon over Mumbai during the next 24 to 48 hours.
The rainfall activity also has become heavy over Mumbai and the intensity will only increase in the coming days paving way for good Monsoon showers.
