The slight drop in temperature due to the unseasonal rain that has brought relief to Mumbai, could continue for another few days as meteorologists have predicted more showers. Mumbai and several other areas of Maharashtra are likely to experience light to moderate rainfall as well as thunderstorms over the next two days, due to a trough that runs from south Konkan to central Chhattisgarh at lower tropospheric levels, according to a representative of the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The rain and thunderstorm activity have come at a time when temperatures in the city and adjoining areas were on the higher side.

The temperature in the city was on the rise for the past three consecutive days. On Sunday the maximum temperature recorded was 38.1 degrees Celsius. The temperature jumped to 39.3 degrees Celsius (the highest of this season—March 2023) on Monday. On Tuesday post light rain and thunderstorms, the temperature dropped to 35.8 degrees Celsius as per the Santacruz Observatory, while the Colaba observatory recorded 33 degrees Celsius.
