Mumbai: Monsoon Prepares For Rain Launch!
This very look
of the skies never fails to thrill you; makes you ecstatic. Particularly when
you have been sweating out a month-long spell of humid energy-sapping heat with
the air stilled and tree leaves forgetting how to sway. The full month of May
this year has been one of unbearably persistent heat for Mumbaikars. This was
not the case in the last two or so years when temperatures varied frequently
with windy conditions keeping company consistently. No doubt, Mumbaikars
collectively have a sigh of great relief.

The spell of a
searing dry heat with the mercury rising above 48 degree Celsius burned across
the state of Maharashtra already under a
raging drought for the month of May. In the last two or three days welcome
pre-monsoon showers had brought tremendous relief for the people of different
parts of the state, particularly for the distressed farmers.
The South West
Monsoon, the mainstay of Indian farming, had already hit the southernmost Indian
state of Kerala and is set to reach Maharashtra
by 15th of June.
With the monsoon
mood created, Mumbai is likely to have light and pre-monsoon showers over the
next few days in the run-up to the South West Monsoon Rain launch. Welcome and
enjoy the rains coming your way soon!
