The reduction in rainfall activity is attributed to the weakening of the off shore trough which was responsible for giving good rains over the city.
As per weathermen at Skymet Weather, light to moderate showers are expected to continue over the city of Mumbai during the next 24 hours. These weather conditions will be attributed to the cyclonic circulation which persists over the Gujarat region. However, the possibility of heavy rains is highly unlikely over the region.
