Over October 30 and 31, Mumbai received scattered showers that mark the beginning of a rather rainy week. Officials from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) state that a light rain spell may go on for Mumbai and Maharashtra for the next 4-5 days. They said that the Santacruz observatory saw nearly 1 cm of rain as of Saturday morning, whereas areas like Vikhroli also received considerable showers of nearly 66 cm.

“There is another system forming over the Bay of Bengal that might enter over Andhra Pradesh. Consequently, parts of Marathwada and Vidarbha are likely to see rain with parts of Konkan, Madhya Maharashtra, and Goa receiving scattered showers too,” said Regional Meteorological Centre’s (IMD Mumbai) head scientist Bikram Singh.
