Within the span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Thursday, both the Santa Cruz Observatory and Colaba Observatory recorded 2 mm of rains each. Further, due to the inactive offshore trough along the West Coast, it seems that heavy spells are not foreseen as of now for the entertainment city of the country.
