Moreover, as a result of the combined effect of UAC in the Arabian Sea and the Western Disturbance in North India, weather in Mumbai and surrounding areas will get gradually cloudy in the next three to four days with a chance of light rains from Thursday or Friday. In addition, areas of South Konkan and South Gujarat are also touted to get light rains.

According to weather experts, in the next few days, the maximum temperature in Mumbai is to drop gradually to 31-32 degree Celsius whereas the minimum temperature will be 20-21 degree Celsius. Moreover, pleasant weather in Mumbai can be expected from next week with minimum temperature dropping to 16-17 degree Celsius before Christmas.
