Parts of Mumbai witnessed light to moderate rainfall on Sunday morning, bringing relief from heat and humidity.
The light showers came after the southwest monsoon's delayed arrival and at a time when the Maharashtra capital is facing a water shortage.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said conditions are favourable for the southwest monsoon to advance further across parts of Maharashtra.
Data released by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) showed that Ramabai Municipal School in Ghatkopar received the highest rainfall between 6 am and 7 am, recording 24 mm.
The city has been facing a severe water shortage due to the delayed monsoon and declining reserves in the seven lakes that provide drinking water to Mumbai.
The BMC has imposed a 20% reduction in water supply to industrial, commercial and sports facilities, and has also decided to cut off the water supply to construction sites and swimming pools.
