Over the next few days, Mumbaikars can expect some form of relief from last week's erratic temperature rise that occurred between sporadic rain showers. The respite will come thanks to to a cyclonic circulation that is likely to develop over the North East Arabian Sea, which will in turn cause increased rain activity over Mumbai from Monday onwards up until July 16, after which, rainfall will go back to being 'patchy.'

According to Mahesh Palawat (vice president, Meteorology and Climate Change at Skymet Weather), light rain had already commenced over Mumbai and its suburbs on Saturday night at around 9 pm, which continued well into Sunday morning.
