Bandra-Bandstand-MumbaiAfter receiving the highest ever rainfall in June,Mumbaihas received the least amount of rain in July this year as compared to the past ten years. The record-breaking June rainfall in Mumbai covered up for the July rainfall to an extent but in absence of any significant rainfall in July, the city of dreams remained far away from crossing its monthly average rainfall.

Due to light to moderate rain since last few days, Mumbai has received close to 359 mm in July which is below by 55% than the monthly average rainfall of 800 mm. According to Skymet Meteorology Division of India, even though light intermittent rain will continue in Mumbai for next few days, it will take a couple of days before heavy rains hit Mumbai again.

For almost first 20 days in July, dry weather prevailed in Mumbai due to which residents were left to reel under extremely hot and humid weather where maximum and minimum temperature were settling 2-3 notches above normal. The situation was dismal after a record breaking June that witnessed rainfall crossing the 1000 mm mark.

July being the rainiest month for Mumbai had observed record breaking rainfall on a few occasions in the past where the city fetched a whopping 1454 mm of rain in 2005, followed by 1468 mm of rain last year. However, the absence of any active Monsoon system in the Bay of Bengal has rendered a relatively dry July during Monsoon in Mumbai.
