As Rajesh suggested, monsoon hits Mumbai on 16th. 100mm-150mm in 24hours. What are extreme rainfall events for Mumbai this year? August 2005 amazing 1000mm rain fell in Mumbai in a single day! Extreme event to be entered in Guiness records. Very next 500mm rain in a single day! What makes Mumbai exposed to such events? In fact Mumbai lakes get full in 2 rains only. All waterfalls surrounding hills of Navi Mumbai, Borivili, Thane, Pune spectacular sight!
Dear SSET, Mumbai is blessed with SWM rainfall; Because of its vantage meteorological location in Arabian Sea. Usually Mumbai will NEVER face water scarcity. Constant one week rainfall will help improve water storage in major reservoirs and water bodies. [1] Monsoon has visited Mumbai late by 72 hrs to its original date. [2] Northern most parts of Mumbai has also benefited. [3] In the Head Bay monsoon is brewing to become trough and this will enhance monsoonal rainfall in Mumbai area.(as pointed out by your friend, Shri.Rajesh)
