Mumbai has been seeing rainfall activities for the past couple of days. Moreover, the city has seen some light rains to the tune of 2 mm in the last 24 hours as well. These rains, however, have been unseasonal and unusual for Mumbai.
The reason for the rains can be attributed to the interaction between the westerly system and the easterly system. A trough extends right along the Western coastline up to Gujarat. A Western Disturbance is over the Western Himalayas.
When two opposite systems interact, the movement becomes slow and the spread becomes more as the systems restrict the movement of each other and the spread and duration of rains become more.
Cloudy skies are being seen over Mumbai. We can see some rain today for the same reason. However, the rainy spell will be getting over after today. In fact, after today, only clouding may be seen over the region.
