Mumbai weather has been keeping the Mumbaikars happy for quite some time now. The hot and dry weather has taken a pleasant turn and temperatures have come down resulting in happy faces of the residents.
The city which had last received good rains in the month of October opened its rain account after around seven months. On May 13, the maximum city did receive a few spells of evening showers. However, rains did take a break thereafter and dry weather took over.
But, it looked like rain gods did not want to keep Mumbai waiting and the city of dreams began to receive on and off rains during the last few days. The month of June did begin on a rainy note and since then Mumbai rains haven’t stopped to catch a breath.
The last 24 hours have also not been different and the maximum city did witness some good rainfall activity. In fact, during the span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Thursday, the Santa Cruz observatory recorded 27 mm of rainfall while Colaba recorded a good 24 mm of rain.
