<p>Skymet also said that the rise in rain activity is due to the presence of a cyclonic circulation over central parts of Konkan and Goa, that will move in towards the northern area along the Maharashtra coast. The movement of the cyclonic circulation and convergence of strong westerly and southwesterly winds over North Konkan and Goa are likely to impact Mumbai with heavy to very heavy downpour on these days.&nbsp;</p>
