Mumbai: December began on a wet note for Mumbaikars, with two new marks being set. While the city on Wednesday recorded its second-highest 24-hour rainfall ever for the month, the unseasonal showers sent the maximum temperature plunging by 9 degrees Celsius to its second-lowest for December in a decade.
An IMD scientist attributed the rains to a cyclonic circulation over southeast Arabian Sea and the adjoining Lakshadweep which now lies over south-east and east-central Arabian Sea. The rain is expected to continue on Thursday, the IMD said.
On Wednesday, in the 12hour period ending 8.30pm, the IMD’s Santacruz observatory recorded 41.6mm of rain and Colaba 43.2mm. The highest December rainfall of 53 mm was recorded in 2017 owing to Cyclone Ockhi moving close to the city’s coast.
