Good news is in store for Mumbaikars irritated with the hot and humid weather — monsoon is finally expected as the new week begins. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), with the north westward movement of the low pressure system, enhanced rainfall activity is expected during next 48 hours on the west coast, which includes Mumbai.
Earlier this month, the city got a respite from the humidity for a couple of days when it rained while cyclone Vaayu was passing by in the Arabian Sea. Following that, Mumbai returned to its usual hot and humid weather, with the maximum temperature on Sunday being recorded at 33.6 degree Celsius.
