Mumbai records light rain as pre-monsoon activity begins

Light drizzles hit parts of Mumbai on Sunday as the India Meteorological Department announced the onset of pre-monsoon showers, while high humidity and daytime temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius made conditions highly oppressive.

The Santacruz observatory, which tracks weather for the suburbs, logged a minimum temperature of 29.9 degrees Celsius with no rain, while the Colaba weather station in south Mumbai recorded a minimum of 28.6 degrees Celsius and 0.6 mm rainfall.

Mumbaikars grappled with sweltering conditions, as daytime temperatures consistently hovered above the 30-degree Celsius mark.

Senior IMD scientist Sushma Nair said that the city witnessed drizzle during the day, which is a part of pre-monsoon activity.

Showers will gradually intensify as the monsoon advances, she added.
