Wet spell in parts of Maharashtra over next 2 days: IMD

“A low-pressure area is likely to form over the east-central Arabian Sea off the Maharashtra coast in the next 24 hours. The system is very likely to interact with an approaching western disturbance. Under the influence of these weather systems, a wet spell is expected over parts of Maharashtra,” the IMD said.

Moderate rainfall is likely to continue in some parts till Thursday with a reduction thereafter. According to the 24 hours forecast, Mumbai will witness a generally cloudy sky with the possibility of rain and thundershowers towards evening.

On Tuesday, the minimum temperature recorded in the city was four degrees above normal at 23.8 degrees Celsius. On Monday, the minimum temperature was 20 degrees Celsius.

According to the seven-day forecast for Mumbai, after thunderstorms and moderate rain till December 2, there will be a partly cloudy sky till the end of this week. In this period, the minimum temperatures will stay above normal and high relative humidity will increase the heat index in the city. The rise in temperature is due to the development of weather systems in the Arabian Sea.
