Temperatures will take a dip due to these rains but we cannot expect major relief from the sweltering heat. There may be some marginal drop during the time of rains and maximums may be about 33-34 degrees Celsius.
While Mumbai does see maximums reaching even up to 40 degrees and beyond during the month of March, such a situation had not been observed yet over Mumbai for this season.
For the second time in March, Mumbai recorded the highest maximum temperature in the country at 39.4 degrees Celsius on Sunday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said, attributing the rise in mercury to absent or delayed wind breeze.
As far as the month of March is concerned, rains are absent from the commercial capital of India. In fact, the monthly mean of Mumbai is at 0.1 mm, which means that the city almost does not see any rains whatsoever.
