After heavy rains lashed Mumbai and its neighbouring areas with complaints of waterlogging reported in several low-lying areas, private weather agency Skymet, on Tuesday, said in a report that the intensity of rains will see a drop this week. Even as the frequency of rains in the city will plunge this week, it will see a slight increase on July 11, the private weather agency added.

According to Skymet, even as the rain activities will see a drop, light showers will continue to pour at regular intervals. The decreased frequency of rains will also lead to rise in temperature in the coming days.

The private weather agency also predicted a marginal increase in the intensity of rain activities in Mumbai and suburbs from July 11. Light to moderate rains have been predicted from the day that would lead to pleasant weather in the city.

According to Skymet, Santacruz observatory recorded 30mm rain, whereas Colaba observatory recorded 13mm in the past 24 hours. Although the weather was cloudy, many parts of the city received light to moderate rains.
