“In the Bay of Bengal, a low-pressure area is forming, which will strengthen the offshore monsoon trough near Maharashtra.” When this system moves closer to the coast or inland around July 18, Mumbai and the surrounding Konkan will experience a monsoon resurrection,” stated an IMD scientist on Tuesday.
The Central Railway’s suburban services were also impacted by heavy rain on Tuesday. A failure of an express train engine was also recorded. Several commuters reported that city local trains were running 20-25 minutes late.
The maximum temperature in Mumbai is expected to be between 28 and 29 degrees Celsius for the coming week, while the lowest temperature will remain around 24 degrees Celsius. Cloudy and dreary skies will prevail, with little to no sunshine.
