The fresh showers come amid a delayed advance of the southwest monsoon over Mumbai. The monsoon usually reaches the city around June 10, but its progress was stalled this year due to unfavourable weather conditions. IMD has said conditions are becoming favourable for its further advance into Maharashtra, including Mumbai.
