The Weather Forecast for Mumbai:
“The past few days have been exceptionally hot, with temperatures rising over 35 degrees Celsius. The weather reporter predicts the weather will start cooling down tomorrow as a cold wave moves into the area. There will be a breeze from Kerala that will help reduce the intensity of the heat. Clouds will begin rolling in overnight, bringing with them colder air. The sky will be generally cloudy in the morning, with sporadic patches of brightness. The temperature will dip down to a high of only 28 degrees tomorrow – a welcome relief after this heat wave. The reporter further said that many parts of Maharashtra will get pre-monsoon rains for the next few days. There will be heavy rains in Ghat & South Maharashtra, and Mumbai will also get a few rain showers. When the southwest monsoons hit Mumbai by mid-June, they will relieve us from the scorching heat of the sun.”.
