Mumbai and Gujarat weather this week
The weather department has predicted that heavy to very heavy rains will lash the west coast of India.
"The off-shore trough at mean sea level from south Gujarat coast to north Kerala coast now runs from south Maharashtra Coast to Kerala coast. This situation is very likely to cause heavy to very heavy rainfall along the west coast of India and parts of Gujarat on day 1," the Mumbai weather department said in an official statement.
The next day, rainfall will decrease over the western coast.
"With the northward shifting of the monsoon trough, weakening of the off-shore trough is likely, leading to a reduction in rainfall amounts over the west coast. The significant rainfall area is likely to be the southern peninsular region only on day 2," it added, reported ANI.
Mumbai and Gujarat had experienced incessant rainfall in the last week too. According to the IMD, the heavy downpour was a result cyclonic circulation.
"Synoptic analysis indicates that the offshore trough at mean sea level runs from south Gujarat coast to Kerala coast. A cyclonic circulation lies over south Konkan and its neighbourhood and another cyclonic circulation lies over north Konkan and adjoining south Gujarat," an IMD official had said.
The heavy rainfall had caused water logging in several parts of Mumbai, had uprooted trees, submerged railways tracks and had also led to the collapse of a boundary wall in Antop hill.
Apart from Mumbai, several other parts in India will also receive rainfall ranging from heavy to very heavy rainfall.
