After heavy rains lashed Mumbai and its neighbouring areas with complaints of waterlogging reported in several low-lying areas, private weather agency Skymet, on Tuesday, said in a report that the intensity of rains will see a drop this week. Even as the frequency of rains in the city will plunge this week, it will see a slight increase on July 11, the private weather agency added.
According to Skymet, even as the rain activities will see a drop, light showers will continue to pour at regular intervals. The decreased frequency of rains will also lead to rise in temperature in the coming days.
