Light drizzles hit parts of Mumbai on Sunday as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced the onset of pre-monsoon showers, while high humidity and daytime temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius made conditions highly oppressive.
The Santacruz observatory, which tracks weather for the suburbs, logged a minimum temperature of 29.9 degrees Celsius with no rain, while the Colaba weather station in south Mumbai recorded a minimum of 28.6 degrees Celsius and 0.6 mm rainfall.
Mumbaikars grappled with sweltering conditions, as daytime temperatures consistently hovered above the 30-degree Celsius mark.
Senior IMD scientist Sushma Nair said that the city witnessed drizzle during the day, which is a part of pre-monsoon activity.
Showers will gradually intensify as the monsoon advances, she added.
