After heavy rains and thundershowers lashed Mumbai for the better part of last week, the rainfall activities reduced in the past few days. The temperatures recorded were slightly above normal in Mumbai due to the dry spell as many Mumbaikars were left wondering why the city has been receiving scanty rainfall in the last few days.

Meanwhile, monsoon clouds from the western part of India moved to the northern part of the country as the Southwest Monsoon advanced into the national capital and adjoining states, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Thursday. The IMD had issued an orange alert on Wednesday due to the possibility of flooding in areas of northern India between June 25 to June 28.
