Latest weather charts indicate a withdrawal of the SWM from Vidharbha and Marathwada. All the regions North and East of Maharastra are Monsoon free.
We see strong NW blowing in the plains of central India.

For Madhya Maharastra and Konkan (including Mumbai), I would like to wait till the UAC in the East Arabian Sea fizzles out.
Sporadic rains might just continue in the Konkan till this UAC is present.

Since the begining of October, Mumbai has been getting light rain in scattered areas. Would wait for the UAC to outlive its life span, and then declare the retreat of the SWM.

Quite interesting to see UTH covering Mumbai and adjoining sea under the dark blue band. But atleast on ground today it was bit more humid than last 2 days.

emkay: UTH could be taken as a precedent and indicator of a seasonal change (in our region)and will be gradual. Low level humidity will vary depending on the wind direction.

anonymous: True, and the wind is NW
