Mumbai: Mumbai woke up to partly cloudy skies and humid weather on Friday after light rain and drizzle lashed several parts of the city overnight, bringing brief relief from the prevailing warm conditions. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast no major weather warning for the city this week, with only isolated light showers expected over the next few days.
Light rainfall was reported from parts of South Mumbai, including Lalbaug, Byculla and Girgaon, while several western and eastern suburbs also witnessed overnight showers.
Today's Weather Update
According to the IMD, Mumbai city and its suburbs are likely to experience partly cloudy skies with the possibility of one or two spells of light rain at isolated places during the day. Temperatures are expected to remain between 25°C and 32°C, with the minimum temperature recorded at around 30°C on Friday morning. High humidity is likely to persist despite reduced rainfall activity.
After nearly a week-long lull, the city had received light to moderate showers on Thursday morning, while cloudy skies prevailed for most of the day. Areas that recorded comparatively higher rainfall included Mulund West, Bhandup, Powai, Dindoshi, Borivali and Lower Parel.
The IMD has also predicted light to moderate rainfall across Mumbai and neighbouring districts over the weekend, indicating that monsoon activity is likely to continue, albeit at a subdued pace.
Although the southwest monsoon arrived in Mumbai 12 days later than usual this year, the prolonged spell of intense rainfall during the first half of July helped the city recover the seasonal deficit. In fact, Mumbai crossed its average monthly July rainfall within the first week of the month following days of incessant downpour.
