As citizens get ready to beat the heat, there is a small respite for a couple of days by the weekend as low-pressure area is likely to form over the Arabian sea due to cyclonic conditions over Lakshadweep area. This is expected to give post-monsoon rain showers in different parts of the city as well as Maharashtra.

As the complete monsoon withdrawal has been declared by the Indian Meteorological Department now, Mumbai has started to feel the heat. While it is the onset of October heat and already the maximum temperature of the city has crossed 36 degrees celsius, it is likely to reach up to 37 degrees Celsius by the end of this month. Thanks to the north-easterly dry winds combined with a clear sky.
