Mumbai rains have not shown up over the city for almost a month which is why Mumbai city has been whirling under dry and warm days. The daytime highs have peaked up and are already settling in the lower 30’s.
However, now the elongated dry spell which has been haunting the Mumbai city is all set to break with some light rains paving their way towards the city. The states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu have been throttled by heavy showers due to the cyclonic storm Ockhi which had developed in the waters of the Arabian Sea.

This weather system will further intensify in another 24 hours and is expected to move in a west-northwest direction.
