Mumbaikars woke up to a pleasant drop in temperature on Wednesday as the untimely rain brought along with it a nip in the air. Colaba and Santacruz observatories recorded 27.6 mm and 28.6 mm rainfall, respectively, while both recorded a drop in the maximum temperature at 24.8 degree Celsius.


As per IMD forecast, light to moderate rainfall is likely to continue on Thursday. 


Going by its trend for the past few years, the coastal city experienced a wet spell in December, which generally marks the beginning of winter season for the region. 


Following the yellow alert issued by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Mumbai for the city and surrounding districts, Wednesday looked like a monsoon day with light to moderate spells through the day.

IMD had issued the warning due to the formation of a low-pressure area over the Arabian Sea last night. It stated, “The low-pressure area formation system was forecasted to be very likely to interact with an approaching western disturbance. Under the influence of these weather systems, a wet spell was expected over parts of Maharashtra.”  

Shubhangi Bhute, scientist at IMD Mumbai, said, “The weather condition is due to the cyclone circulation in the South East Arabian Sea.”
