#Mumbairains dominates trends as Twitterati responds to the surprise weather change and untimely showers

Mumbai woke up to early morning rain in the city on Thursday. Surprised by the untimely light showers in December, netizens took to social media to share their thoughts and photos.
India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted light to moderate showers for North Konkan region including Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai due to deep depression over east-central Arabian Sea.

Earlier today, KS Hosalikar, Deputy DG at IMD tweeted saying, “Cloudy sky over Coastal and Madhya Maharashtra, with isolated stations reporting light rains/drizzle.”

According to IMD’s latest bulletin, the deep depression over east-central Arabian Sea is very likely to weaken into a Well Marked Low Pressure Area and move west-northwestwards, away from Indian coast during next 12 hours. However, on the off chance that it does intensifies into a cyclonic storm, it will be called Cyclone Amphan.

IMD also warned fishermen not to venture into the sea as it forecasts rough to very rough sea conditions over east-central Arabian Sea along and off Karnataka-Maharashtra-Goa coasts till Thursday evening and improve thereafter.
