Mumbai has bid farewell to the Southwest Monsoon for this year, typically marking the end of rain in the city until the next monsoon season. However, an exception is expected this time, with the possibility of light rainfall in Mumbai around October 15 and 16.
This unusual weather event is attributed to a trough extending along the West Coast up to the Konkan region. Furthermore, an active Western Disturbance, set to affect the mountains and plains of North India around October 13, may align with this coastal trough, potentially resulting in light rains for Mumbai.
While this weather anomaly is not anticipated to disrupt normal activities, it marks a departure from the typical post-monsoon conditions in Mumbai, where rain is a rarity.
