Mumbai has been reeling under warm and sultry weather for the past many days as pre-Monsoon activities remained absent. However, this prolonged dry spell came to an end as light pre-Monsoon rains made an appearance on Wednesday morning.
In fact, light drizzle is still going on over some parts of the entertainment capital. Cloudy sky and drizzle have brought relief from the scorching hot weather. Last time when Mumbai saw some weather activity was two months back on March 16 that too traces of rain only.
According to Skymet Weather, the cloud cover is here to stay, which would lead to a slight drop in day maximums that have been settling around 34°C.

These rains can be attributed to a feeble trough which has developed over North Konkan & Goa. Due to this, low and medium clouds formed over the city leading to rainfall activity.
However, bad news is that this trough is feeble in nature and would not last for long. Therefore, the weather is expected to clear up shortly but partly cloudy to cloudy sky conditions will prevail over Mumbai.

In fact, isolated light to very light pre-Monsoon rains are expected to occur occasionally during the next four to five days. These showers are likely to occur mostly during the early morning hours.
As per weathermen, the intensity of these pre-Monsoon activities is expected to increase around May 28 and 29. During that time, we expect many areas of Mumbai and suburbs to get short spell rain and drizzle.
As per weathermen, westerly humid winds will strengthen during that time. Moreover, Monsoon 2018 is also expected to make an onset over Kerala. Thus, both these factors will lead to the intensification of pre-Monsoon activities along the West Coast.
With this, sultry weather conditions are likely to ease down in coming days. At present, the maximum temperature is around 35°C which is likely to come down to 32°C - 33°C by the end of the month. Meanwhile, the minimum temperatures would witness a marginal change only.
