The Torrential Mumbai Rains
Mumbai has been grappling with heavy rains for the past few weeks, resulting in waterlogging and disruptions to daily life. And being in Mumbai I can vouch for the same. Since the 14th of July it has started raining and the sun seems to be on vacation. In response to the IMD's 'red' alert, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) declared a holiday for all government and private schools and colleges. The Western Railway suburban train services experienced delays of 10-15 minutes due to waterlogging at key stations like Marine Lines and Borivali.
BMC's civic commissioner, Iqbal Singh Chahal, urged citizens to stay alert, remain indoors, and follow the administration's instructions. The Colaba observatory recorded "extremely heavy" rainfall at 223.2 mm, while the Santacruz observatory recorded 145.1 mm rainfall in the 24-hour period ending at 8.30 am on Thursday, according to the IMD Mumbai.Looking ahead, a 'yellow' alert has been issued for Mumbai on Friday.
Rain Predictions in the NorthEast & South of India
Additionally, the IMD predicts 'light or moderate fairly widespread' to widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall in Telangana, Coastal Karnataka, and North Interior Karnataka on July 28. Furthermore, very heavy rainfall is expected in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya on July 28, and then from July 30 to August 2.
