Mumbai faced strong pre-monsoon rains on Tuesday evening, with downpour being recorded in several pockets of the maximum city.

Internet users took to social media to share the visuals of thunder and lightning in parts of the city. Mumbai and its adjoining suburbs had been reeling under overcast conditions, with extreme humidity, over the past couple of days.

The rainfall is expected to provide much-needed relief to the city residents, who have been experiencing a scathing summer season so far.

The downpour comes much ahead of the onset of southwest monsoon in coastal Maharashtra. The rainfall-laden winds are expected to arrive in Kerala on May 27, according to the India Meteorological Department's forecast.

After the onset in Kerala, monsoon usually takes another 10-12 days to arrive in Mumbai.
