Speaking to BOOM's Govindraj Ethiraj, Anand Kumar Sharma Deputy Director-General, India Meteorological Department (IMD) said, "Mumbai may not have winds as strong as 120 km/hr. Areas might have winds that reach 80,90 and close to 100km/hr as well. This system will carry moisture and help in the progression of monsoon. It might move towards Madhya Pradesh from Maharashtra, and bringing rain with it. Delhi, UP and Uttrakhand will also be impacted."
