Why Is Maximum City Still Facing Showers In Late October?

According to a report by Mid-day, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) clarified that the recent rainfall activity is linked to a depression over the east-central Arabian Sea, which has led to significant moisture incursion into the Mumbai region.

“Rainfall can occur due to various weather systems,” explained Nitha Sashidharan, IMD’s Scientist-B. “In this case, two separate systems are at play, the southwest monsoon, which officially withdrew on October 10 and a post-monsoon system that has continued to influence the city’s weather since last week,” he added.

While the monsoon officially retreated on October 10, Mumbai remained largely dry until October 16. However, since then, the city has seen intermittent thundershowers and intense bursts of rainfall, especially over the past three days. The IMD placed Mumbai under a Yellow Alert, forecasting up to 60 mm of rain per hour along with lightning and thunderstorms.
