Torrential rains in Mumbai have wreaked havoc with transport and triggered a red alert! Is your umbrella ready?
Mumbai is no stranger to the monsoon season, but the recent torrential downpour has turned the city into a maze of waterlogged streets and disrupted transport systems. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) raised a red alert for Mumbai and nearby regions like Thane and Raigad, indicating that heavy rainfall is expected to continue for the next 24 hours. As the heavens opened up, locals took to social media to share their experiences, turning the terrible weather into viral memes and photos that spread faster than the rain itself!
Airlines and rail services have taken a big hit as Air India and SpiceJet announced that their flights have been delayed or canceled due to the severe weather conditions. Not just that, many local trains in Mumbai faced disruptions, causing commuters to pack their umbrellas and bravery as they navigated through waterlogged platforms. The police were swift to share tips for safe driving during such heavy rains - including checking exhaust systems and avoiding flooded routes. But let’s be honest, who really thinks to check their exhaust in the midst of a deluge?
On the ground, the water level of the Mithi river rose to 2.5 meters, still shy of its hazard mark, but local residents aren't taking any chances. They continue to stay alert as rescue efforts are underway in neighborhoods most deeply affected by the rainfall. Tragically, the relentless downpours also led to fatalities in nearby Pune, where people lost their lives due to electrocution and landslides. The monsoon season may leave behind a beautiful green landscape, but it's essential to acknowledge its risks.
As locals adapt to the constant flood alerts, the story of the Mumbai rains serves as a reminder of how nature's fury can disrupt normalcy. Fun fact? Did you know that July 2023 marked the second wettest July in Mumbai's history? The city recorded over 150 centimeters of rainfall! Another fascinating tidbit is that Mumbai's climate is profoundly influenced by the Western Ghats, which play a crucial role in creating the heavy monsoon rains that we all know so well. So, the next time you find yourself splashing through a pothole while dodging a falling umbrella, just remember: it's all part of Mumbai's charm!
