Mumbai IMD official Sushma Nair said, "Earlier, when the red alert was declared for the city, there was a low-pressure area that was going to cause heavy rainfall, but it really moved ahead fast, resulting in less rain. However, all synoptic conditions point to heavy rainfall, so the monsoon could pick up at any time."
As per IMDs forecast, the monsoon season in Mumbai is most likely to peak Tuesday and Thursday (July 12 to July 14). "The conditions for the monsoon have been favorable and there is a weather system that is in motion, the winds are moving from east to west (from the low-pressure area formed near Odisha), so we expect good rainfall within this week," Nair added.
