Several parts of Mumbai received the first pre-monsoon showers of the season on Wednesday morning, bringing some respite to residents from the scorching heat and humidity.

Mumbaikars woke up to a cloudy morning and some parts of the city later started receiving light rains from around 7 am.

Many parts of the city like Dadar, Kandivali, Magathane, Oshiwara, Wadala, Ghatkopar witnessed showers in the range of 4 mm to 26 mm between 7 am and 8 am, a civic official said.

Some parts of central and south Mumbai also received light rain.
