Southwest Monsoon ended today with "normal" rainfall this season belying the initial forecast of "above normal" precipitation, even as several states registered "deficient" rains.
According to disaster management control room of the civic body, no injury or casualty has been reported so far.
In its forecast for Mumbai and suburban areas, the IMD predicted intermittent or continuous rain or showers with few heavy spells beginning from 10 am on September 21 progressing to very heavy rains during the next 24 to 48 hours, Joint secretary of the State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), Rajiv Nivatkar said.
The country's weather agency has attributed the downward revision to the delay in La Nina phenomenon.
Going back on its earlier forecast of "above normal" monsoon, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) today said the monsoon will be "normal" this year due to delay in La Nina weather pattern.
In an interview with CNBC-TV18, PK Nandankar of Met said that overall rainfall deficit may come down to 3 percent from the current 5 percent in coming days.
"The southwest monsoon has withdrawn from some parts of West Rajasthan today," the weather department said.
The IMD has been issuing monsoon forecast for over 25 years now. This will be for the first time that the MET department will be issuing forecast for the winter season. It started forecasting warnings of "severe to very severe" heatwaves during the summer season this year.
Monsoon has weakened in the North-Eastern and North-Central India due to large-scale conversion of forest land to crop land, according to a study by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay.
The department would assess rainfall for the next one week and would update on the forecast. As of now, there was drastic reduction in rainfall in August, said DS Pai, Director, IMD.
