Mumbai woke up to a break from the intense heat today, as the city experienced gloomy weather, a result of a cyclonic circulation over the state. This system extends up to 1.5 km above sea level and has caused a noticeable change in the wind patterns.

According to Sushma Nair, a scientist at the India Meteorological Department's (IMD) Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) Mumbai, "The northern and southern wind patterns have shifted, causing a confluence of moist air from the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. This has led to the weather becoming cloudy and overcast."
