North #Kokan Forecast from 10 to 13 Aug
Increase in #Rain activity expected but this time it will be of much less rains than last 3-6th hyper active spell for coastal area like #Mumbai… As Bay system is much weaker and may track along monsoon axis i.e from East MP to UP, Delhi

(1/2) As offshore #trough may not be much strong for very heavy rains. So in my opinion gradual rise in spells from Mon with bit more increasing toward Wed-Thurs possible.
