Brace yourself for another dry week. The city is unlikely to see heavy showers from Monday to Friday. Though there will be minor rainfall activity in patches during the entire week, it will still be hot and humid, meteorologists have predicted. Thanks to the ‘break monsoon’ phase from August 1 to August 13, the India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) Santacruz observatory recorded 30 mm rainfall in the past 13 days as against the monthly normal of 561 mm. The Colaba observatory recorded 28 mm during the same time.
