Maximum temperatures are expected to remain marginally below normal due to intermittent light showers and cloud cover.
Rain activities over Mumbai and suburb may increase on August 20 and 21st. There may be few intense spells over Mumbai and suburbs during that period which may lead to waterlogging in low lying areas. These rain activities will not be very heavy which we have seen during the first week of August.
A cyclonic circulation is persisting over Gujarat and adjoining area due to this, humid moderate wind from the Arabian sea is bringing moisture over Mumbai and adjoining areas.
