Parts of Mumbai on Monday evening received heavy showers as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) earlier in the day predicted a partly cloudy sky with the possibility of occasional light spells of rain in the city and its suburbs.
According to IMD, the maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to be around thirty-three degrees Celsius and twenty-six degrees Celsius, respectively.
Earlier, on May twenty-eight, Mumbai had also witnessed heavy rainfall.
Meanwhile, the IMD stated that, quantitatively, the southwest monsoon seasonal rainfall over the country as a whole is likely to be one hundred six per cent of the Long Period Average (LPA), with a model error margin of plus or minus four per cent. This indicates that above-normal rainfall is most likely across the country during the monsoon season from June to September, two thousand twenty-five.
The IMD further noted that the southwest monsoon rainfall is most likely to be above normal over Central India and South Peninsular India, normal over Northwest India (between ninety-two and one hundred eight per cent of LPA), and below normal over Northeast India (less than ninety-four per cent of LPA).
As per ANI, the monsoon seasonal rainfall over the Monsoon Core Zone (MCZ), which includes most rainfed agricultural regions of the country, is also expected to be above normal (more than one hundred six per cent of LPA).
From June to September, two thousand twenty-five, most parts of the country are likely to receive normal to above-normal rainfall, except for some areas in Northwest and East India, and many parts of Northeast India, where below-normal rainfall is expected.
Meanwhile, the national capital witnessed a spell of rain on Sunday, accompanied by strong winds over southern parts of Delhi. The rains were caused by an east-southeastward-moving cloud cluster, according to the Meteorological Department.
The rain provided relief from the heat as Delhi had recorded maximum temperatures above thirty-nine degrees Celsius earlier in the day. According to IMD, Safdarjung recorded thirty-nine point seven degrees Celsius, Ayanagar thirty-nine point five degrees Celsius, Lodhi Road thirty-nine point four degrees Celsius, and Palam thirty-nine point one degrees Celsius.
The IMD has issued warnings for thunderstorms, lightning, and squalls in the national capital for the next two days, June second and third.
