Days after monsoon hit the city bringing in spells of heavy showers, Mumbai and Thane will see rain abating in the next 48 hours, the India Meteorological Department has said. Other areas in the state will also experience a relatively drier patch, it said. Spells are likely to become “intermittent” along the coast, up until at least June 24. 

“As per our extended rain forecast, there is a reduction in rainfall over the interiors of the state till July 24,” said an IMD official. “The Konkan region is also likely to receive less rainfall comparatively to last week. It will be less than what it was during the week of June 11-17 when the region got good rainfall.”
