Monsoon moisture will continue to produce localized heavy rain across western India over the next few days.
Aided by the short-lived Tropical Cyclone 01A, localized rain amounts of 3-5 inches (75-125 mm) occurred across northwestern India since Friday.
In the heavily populated city of Mumbai, 1.18 inches (29.9 mm) of rain fell between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Saturday (local time), while up to 2.63 inches (66.7 mm) of rain fell in the western suburbs.
The heavy rain resulted in standing water on roadways and on some rail lines. Officials also reported numerous down trees across the area.
While the cyclone has dissipated, the remnant swirl will continue to draw very moist, tropical air inland over western India over the next few days.
As is typical for June, daily rainfall amounts of 3-5 inches will occur across western India, while local amounts may near 8 inches (200 mm) in a few locations in the more intense cloud bursts.
