Rain and clouds with gusting winds at 50 to 60 kmph from the Arabian Sea are approaching Mumbai coast, expected to reach in 24 to 36 hours. These moisture-laden winds would slow down to a speed of 10 to 20 kmph, some 50 to 100 km before they hit the city’s coast, thus causing fair amount of rainfall during the weekend, especially on Sunday.
Mumbai is expected to receive 25 mm of rain on Friday while 35 mm on Saturday. So if you are planning to go outdoors and enjoy the rain especially at the beaches then this would be perfect weather to do so. But better remain indoors on Sunday and enjoy the day off to avoid traffic woes as some 80mm of rain is expected.
This surge is expected to continue till Monday with about 100mm of rain expected on the first working day of the week. It’s going to be a slow start to a wet week so plan accordingly.
