Why are the suburbs wetter than south Mumbai

The monsoon has been marked by extreme rain days this year, with some areas of Mumbai recording over 400 mm of rainfall over 24 hours. But the pattern has not been uniform. Rain data from the onset of the rainy season till now shows that suburban areas like Vikrohli, Dindoshi, Kandivli, Borivli and Mulund have recorded the maximum rain in the city, while Mumbai’s central and southern parts have received less rain in comparison (see graphic).
