Mumbai woke up to relentless downpours on Saturday, leading to waterlogging in several areas including Gandhi Market, Kings Circle, Andheri Subway, Kurla, Chembur, Milan Subway, and the SCLR Bridge, visuals shared by ANI showed.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for Mumbai and Thane for August 16–17, forecasting heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated locations. Raigad has been placed under a red alert for August 16, with the likelihood of extremely heavy rain in some parts.
As of now, IMD’s Colaba and Santacruz observatories have recorded 1,119.2 mm and 1,435.7 mm of rainfall respectively since the monsoon began. The city had already experienced intense showers on August 15.
Explaining the weather system, IMD Mumbai chief Shubhangi Bhute said, “The east-west trough runs from southern Gangetic West Bengal to the east-central Arabian Sea across the upper air cyclonic circulation linked to the low-pressure area over south Odisha and adjoining regions. Under its influence, rainfall activity over Maharashtra is expected to intensify between August 15–20.”
Fishermen have been advised to stay ashore. The IMD warned of squally weather with wind speeds of 40–50 kmph, gusting up to 60 kmph, along and off the North Konkan coast from August 15–16, increasing to 45–55 kmph with gusts up to 65 kmph from August 17–19.
