With Mumbai witnessing moderate rains frequently almost every day with occasional thundershowers, private weather agency Skymet said monsoon is likely to strengthen over the city and suburbs from Friday.  

The private weather agency said the city is expected to receive moderate to heavy rainfall between Friday and Sunday. The development is due to a feeble trough that has been running along Maharashtra coast. It will turn into a cyclonic circulation over North Konkan and Goa and adjoining South Gujarat in the coming days. It also added that Mumbai will possibly experience wet weather for the next five to six days after which the intensity of rains may gradually reduce.
