Mumbaikars could soon get relief from the hot weather. The mid-monsoon dry spell in Mumbai is likely to end later this week. With the strengthening of the westerly winds from the Arabian Sea, rain is likely to increase from August 5 and August 6 in Mumbai, with more frequent passing showers expected during the day. The temperature might drop by at least 2 degrees celsius during this time weathermen have predicted.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that the city will witness a partly cloudy sky with the possibility of light rain also in the suburbs over the next 48 hours. The minimum temperature is expected to hover around 26 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature is expected to reach 32 degrees celsius in the next 24 hours.
