As the sudden mild downpour took Mumbaiites by surprise on Saturday, the Indian Metrological Department (IMD) has predicted that the entire coastal region of the state will witness a light rainfall for the next 24 hours. Doctors, however, have cautioned that the change in climate can lead to airborne viruses. While the last few days have witnessed an increase in the number of swine flu patients, the sudden rain will lead to the spread of H1N1 virus.
