Mumbai rains have been playing hide and seek for quite a long time with some days seeing intense rainfall activities while the others only settling with light showers. The former situation was witnessed over the commercial capital of the country during the last 24 hours wherein three-digit rains in the city caused waterlogging and traffic chaos over many areas of the city.
It seems like weekend and Mumbai rains are running at sync with each other as since the beginning of June, there have been several occasions wherein heavy showers have been observed on a Saturday or a Sunday.

In the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Saturday, Santa Cruz observatory recorded massive three-digit rains to the tune of 131 mm. However, rains were on the moderate side for Colaba which recorded just about 33 mm of rainfall. The suburbs of the city also saw heavy rains wherein Thane recorded a whopping 163 mm of rains.
These rains have been attributed to the presence of the off-shore trough along the West Coast. Along with this, a cyclonic circulation in the mid-levels at around 10,000 feet has also been persisting close to South Gujarat and North Konkan region due to which rains have increased over the city of Mumbai.
Now, as per weathermen at Skymet Weather, on and off heavy rains are expected to continue for another 48 hours. There may be waterlogging and traffic chaos in some pockets, but the good news is that there will be occasional breaks in between and rains will not be on a continuous basis.
