Skymet, in its weather report, stated that a cyclonic circulation is persisting over the Karnataka coast leading to dry winds from south-east direction over Mumbai and suburbs.
“The reduced rain activities and bright sunshine had increased the discomfort level over the city. Although the day temperatures in Mumbai are still below normal, lack of cloud cover accompanied with high humidity led to sultry weather conditions,” said Skymet.
However, the private weather agency said that a low-pressure area is also expected to form over Andhra coast in the Bay of Bengal. “The low-pressure area will move in the westerly direction towards south-west Madhya Pradesh leading to active monsoon conditions over the West Coast, including Mumbai and suburbs. The east-west shear zone will also move north. All these weather parameters with ensure that Mumbai gets few good spells of rain and thundershower activities in the coming days,” added Skymet.
The rains will certainly give the much-needed relief to Mumbaikars from the ongoing hot weather condition.
Rains activities that started from Friday will intensify between September 12 and 14. Thereafter also, the weather of Mumbai will not go completely dry.
“On and off rains will continue over Mumbai and suburbs during next week. Heavy to very heavy rains are ruled out for Mumbai in the coming days,” Skymet further said.
