Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said that the light drizzle is a result of existing moisture in the climate and subsequent rise in temperature. &ldquo;The showers were very light and were caused due to something which we call as wind discontinuity. The phenomenon is, as of now, similar from western peninsula to Vidarbha," said Rajiv Nair, Director IMD.
While the forecast mentions that the sky will remain cloudy, there is an expected increase in temperature, which could go up to as much as 33 degree Celsius. Some areas on Konkan coast are expected to get thunderstorms. At the same time light rains are expected to hit different parts of the city.
