The worst-affected city is Mumbai, which experienced very heavy rains that caused water logging and inconvenience to suburban trains. The IMD has issued an orange alert warning of heavy rainfall in Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, and the Konkan division for the next few days.
Six hours of rainfall activity has produced rain amounts above 300 mm in several parts of Mumbai, with locations in Vikhroli, Veer Savarkar Marg Municipal School, and MCMCR Powai posting the highest rainfall accumulation. Over 50 flight cancellations have resulted from downpours, and airlines have urged the public to check their flights.
Pictures from all over the city depict men and women up to their waists in water and vehicles sticking to each other on Mumbai roads. To avoid the possible spreading of the disease, all schools and colleges have been closed. Suburban train services that carry over 30 lakh passengers have also been affected.
Authorities have said that if the rain seizes for two hours, the problem of water logging is likely to reduce. However, IMD has predicted that tomorrow will see heavy to very heavy rain throughout the day. In addition to the above losses, another misfortune that the city is expecting is a high tide of 4. 4 meters, which should arrive at around 2 p.m.
The National Disaster Response Force has also evacuated many people from the water-infested areas. A flood is an overflow of water that subsides the land on the river banks. Those in charge are yet to alleviate the effects of these torrents and secure the population.
