Meanwhile, Mumbai rains are set to make a comeback. But the intensity of the rainfall will be light to moderate, predicted the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). 

IMD’s Santa Cruz observatory has recorded 4 mm rainfall in the last 24 hours ending at 8.30 am on Saturday, whereas Colaba observatory recorded 0.7 mm rainfall.

The prolonged ‘Break Monsoon’ phase has resulted in low deficient rainfall in August. The August deficiency is 36 per cent

But there is light on the horizon, low pressure in the Bay has formed, which can track inland, and ‘force’ the now stuck Monsoon Axis Southwards.

The low pressure is expected to move inland and bring a partial recovery in rainfall, in Chattisgarh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra
