AccuWeather forecast mostly cloudy conditions for Mumbai, with a little rain in the morning followed by a couple of showers in the afternoon. The day's maximum temperature is expected to be around 34 degrees Celsius, while the night may see periods of rain with a low of 27 degrees Celsius. The chance of precipitation stands at 89%.
Mumbai-based weather observer Rushikesh Agre shared an IMD satellite image on social media and said the monsoon had “taken control” over the Arabian Sea, adding that there were no major obstacles seen to disrupt monsoon winds.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said rainfall activity was expected to intensify in the coastal Konkan region from June 23, but Vidarbha and Marathwada were likely to receive only light to moderate showers, with widespread rains necessary for sowing not visible till the first week of July.
Appealing to farmers to follow government advisories, he said sowing should be undertaken only after at least 100 mm of rainfall has been received.
