Having seen incessant rainfall over the past week, the city is expected to see some much-needed sunshine this week, primarily due to reduced rainfall. This will also lead to a rise in the overall temperature, thereby inconveniencing Mumbaikars.

Over the past 24 hours, Santa Cruz recorded 54 mm of rainfall, whereas Colaba recorded 31 mm. According to Mahesh Palwat, vice president of Meteorology and Climate Change at Skymet Weather, although isolated pockets of Mumbai recorded heavy thundershowers over the last 24 hours, the overall rain intensity had decreased. "The offshore trough, which was extending from North Konkan and Goa towards Kerala, has weakened," he said. "The East-West shear zone has also moved towards the north. Therefore, we expect moderate showers to continue over some parts of Mumbai for the next two to three days. Thereafter, the rain intensity will go down further and there may be isolated light rainfall, leading to a gradual rise in temperature, along with increased sunshine, leading to sultry weather conditions once again. However, we do not expect Mumbai to go completely dry, but yes, discomfort levels will rise," he added.
