Mumbai and parts of Maharashtra are facing sudden rains and the reason behind it is the cyclonic circulations in the Arabian Sea near the Gujarat coast. The showers brought down temperatures in the megapolis and its surrounding areas which were witnessing a dry spell. Light to moderate rain occurred in Mumbai and its adjoining areas on Wednesday morning

India Meteorological Department's (IMD) senior director Shubhangi Bhute said, "The cyclonic circulations formed over the Gujarat coast have brought lot of moisture, leading to cloud formation over most parts of Maharashtra." Due to this, several parts of the state, including Mumbai, are expected to receive medium intensity rains, she said, adding that moderate showers are also likely to occur in the Marathwada and Vidarbha regions in the next two days.
