Mumbai Rains: At 163 mm, Mumbai records heaviest rains of the season

Southwest Monsoon has been pouring good showers over Mumbai, though in contrast with the initial days of July, the rain intensity had reduced considerably. However, after witnessing a lean rainy period, Mumbai rains picked up once again. In the past 24 hours also, Mumbai had recorded heavy showers. In a span of 24 hours, from 8.30 am on Friday, the Santa Cruz Observatory recorded splashing rains of 87 mm, while the Colaba Observatory too recorded whopping showers to the tune of 80 mm.

During the similar time span, the adjoining areas such as Mahabaleshwar witnessed 110 mm of rains, Dahanu 80 mm, Alibag 67 mm and Harnai 63 mm. At present also moderate intensity showers are going on over Mumbai. As per Skymet Weather, these rains can be attributed to an offshore trough which continues to persist from Maharashtra coast to Kerala coast.

Along with this, a low-pressure area is also over Gujarat and adjoining regions. Due to these weather systems, heavy rains have occurred over Mumbai. These weather systems are also likely to continue giving Mumbai moderate rains during the next 24 to 36 hours.

Weathermen foresee that intermittent spells of rain and thundershower will continue to prevail after the rain intensity reduces. These heavy rains can lead to waterlogging and chaotic situations for the people. Meanwhile, pleasant weather is expected to continue across the region thereby, giving slight relief from the humid weather.

So far in the month of July, Mumbai has recorded a whopping 809 mm of rains against its monthly average of 799.7 mm. Hence, Mumbai has already surpassed its monthly average.
