South-east monsoon is expected to reach Mumbai by week-end, the Met department said today.
The city and surrounding areas received spells of pre-monsoon showers last evening.
Farmers in most parts of Maharashtra have completed preparations for sowing, the state agriculture commissioner's office had said a couple of days ago.
Speaking to PTI, P C S Rao, scientist, India Meteorological Department, Pune, said, "South-east monsoon has reached Vengurla (on Goa border) in the state. It arrives in Mumbai generally by June 10. Sometimes the scheduled arrival is delayed by a couple of days. As per the current development, the monsoon would reach Mumbai by this weekend."
