Mumbai: substantial increase in rainfall from Sunday 2nd August. A wet spell is expected Sunday 2nd thru Wednesday 5th August.
However, the lakes may still remain deficient as the rains there will be less.
Initially heavy rains restricted to Coastal Belt in Konkan till Tuesday. Then moving to Nasik/Pune Regions.
Pune: expecting few showers in parts of city this weekend. But increase to meaningful rains (Heavy showers) on Monday and Tuesday.

Jabalpur: Will see some increase in rainfall from Monday 3rd for a few days. North M.P. will see good rains this period.
We may see rainfall pattern increasing for East M.P. regions after the 4th of August, when a Low forms in the Head Bay and tracks West into Odisha.
A proper low should form in the Bay around Mid August , finally, to bring good rainfall into Central India and the regions around.

Kaustabh: See last year end of season water was there for a little more than a year supply and a little more. Today, as i have given , we have 130 days supply still. No question of any miscalculation as Vagaries takes from Hydraulic Dept directly.

Kartik: Will be publishing the overall rainfall asap.
