From May 22 to 29, rainfall is likely to exceed the average across the state, the western coast, and parts of South and East India. From May 29 to June 5, Karnataka and the Bay of Bengal coast are expected to get more than average rain, and from June 5 to 12, above-average rainfall is forecast for Maharashtra and Karnataka.What is Humidity?The term humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air. It is usually referred to as relative humidity (RH). It shows how close the air is to being fully saturated with moisture in percentage terms. For instance, if the humidity percentage is 70, that means the air consists of 70% moisture at that temperature. Mumbai is surrounded by the Arabian Sea. Hence, the city’s air contains a lot of moisture in every season. In summer, as the temperatures near the sea surface increase, there is also an increase in the evaporation of water. This leads to an increase in moisture in the atmosphere, and hence, the humidity is quite high during the hot days of March, April, and May.
