Kashyapi said, “Our (IMD) forecast for extreme heavy rain was there……based on position of some synoptic systems.

1)The off shore trough over north Maharashtra to north Kerala appears again today

2) One upper air cyclonic circulation present over East Central to north Arabian Sea.

3) Another trough from South Gujarat to Odisha. All these systems make monsoon vigorous over Mumbai & adjacent areas/Konkan.

4) Moreover, Strong westerlies and packing of isobars over the Arabian Sea created the rest/situation which may continue in coming couple of days.
