Rain In Deficit In June, August
Despite a rain deficit in June and August, Mumbai surpassed its seasonal average rainfall on August 24, when Santacruz station recorded over 2,361 mm. Experts have attributed the resurgence of rain to a low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal, which is drawing strong westerly winds from the Arabian Sea, leading to increased rainfall.
