Mumbai Experiences Record-Breaking Rainfall: 70 mm In 12 Hours, Traffic Chaos Ensues

Monsoon has caused problems for many people in Mumbai. Heavy rains have cooled the heat but have also flooded roads in many areas, leading to major traffic jams.

Monsoon has arrived in many major cities across the country, and Mumbai is experiencing severe effects. After some light rain on Wednesday, heavy showers began on Thursday evening and continued for several hours. This has caused significant waterlogging on the roads, bringing Mumbai’s traffic to a halt.

Due to 12 hours of continuous rain, 40-70 mm of water fell in Mumbai. Dahisar, Borivali, Andheri West, Vile Parle, Santacruz, Marol, Kurla, Ravalli, Colaba, Nariman Point, and Ghatkopar received the most rain.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that Mumbai received heavy rainfall on Thursday because of strengthening western winds. A cyclonic storm forming over Gujarat is expected to bring more rain to Mumbai. However, the overall rainfall in June will be below normal.
