Why Mumbai got so little rains last few hours? UAC which is now 200 km away from Mumbai coast out in Arabian Sea is stationary and dumping rains there. With UAC so close to Mumbai heavy rains were expected in city today but so far no moisture incursion from Sea towards coast. 
That UAC will intensify into Deep Depression during next couple of days so outerband of that system will give some rains & thunderstorms for Mumbai & surrounding areas next 2-3 days. Last night Mumbai got 70mm rains, another 80-120mm likely next 3 days, isolated areas heavier.
So basically overall just normal heavy rains which shouldn’t cause much trouble. Always chance in isolated areas slow moving thundercell could dump very heavy rains for 2-3 hours. #MumbaiRains
All weather guys will get criticism which is fair but it was really close shave for Mumbai if that UAC formed little closer to Mumbai then today 150mm rains was possible. Right now all heavy rains 200km away from Mumbai out in open sea. This system is expected to intensify..
at least till Deep Depression which just notch below Tropical Storm. It will very slowly move westward away from Mumbai coast so no danger for Mumbai other than rough seas. #MumbaiRains
