While the summer is yet to arrive in Mumbai, the weathermen have already predicted that the city might witness light rains in the coming few days.
According to Asian Age, the weathermen have stated that dry winds are prevailing over the entire Maharashtra region at present, but soon an upper air trough is likely to develop over coastal areas of South Gujarat and adjoining areas Coastal Maharashtra. “Due to this trough, clouding is expected to increase over Mumbai city and adjoining areas, which may result in very light rain for short period over Mumbai and its suburbs such as Thane, Kalyan, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, Sanpada and Virar,” read a report by Skymet Weather.
The IMD officials have said that the clouding has increased humidity levels in Mumbai. “The city’s temperature has been mostly on the pleasant side due to the cooler north westerly winds over the region in the last few days. Now the humidity levels have increased as compared to last week,” an official told the leading daily.
