Cloudy with a chance of rain? Mumbai looks skyward with hope

Mumbaikars suffering in the sweltering heat were looking at the skyline with hope on Friday evening as clouds appeared on the horizon.

But that seems to be just false alarm with the weather forecast for the weekend predicting the same humid and hot conditions to prevail.

But Mumbaikars are a hopeful lot and will be praying to the weather gods for some unseasonal rain soon. After all, the showers will bring some much needed respite to people reeling under scorching heat since long.
