After days of sweltering heat, Mumbai was in for some respite over the weekend. The city and its suburbs received rainfall in places like Kalyan, Badlapur, Borivli, Andheri, Malad and parts of Navi Mumbai on Sunday after South Mumbai witnessed a slight drizzle on Saturday night. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that the temperature is likely to drop substantially following the shower.

A strong weather system passing through North West India from April 15 will cause widespread rains/snow thunderstorms/hailstorms over North-West Himalayas, Central and North West India including Delhi and Maharashtra, said the IMD. There are chances of thunder activity with partly cloudy skies on Monday and Tuesday as well.
