The crazy year just got even more bewildering, with citizens waking up to showers on Friday. Though it didn't pour, there were spells of intermittent rain in various parts of the city since Thursday night. The Mumbai division of the Indian Meteorological Department has forecast a partly cloudy sky with the possibility of light rain or thunderstorm for Saturday.
IMD's Colaba observatory recorded a rainfall of 1.4mm, readings from Santacruz showed 0.7mm rainfall. K S Hosalikar, head of IMD Mumbai, said, "One reason is low pressure in the South East and adjoining South West Arabian Sea and clouds extending from it. The second, as wind is passing by, there is interaction of westerlies and easterlies in and around North Maharashtra region leading to the possibility of light to moderate rain along with the possibility of moderate thunderstorm, too."
