Mumbai Rains

Heavy overnight #MumbaiRains over most parts of Mumbai & surrounding areas. Very wet week ahead for whole Mumbai Region with total rains likely to exceed 600mm. From here on rains will gradually increase over catchment areas with significant jump in water level next 20 days.

The next wet spell for Mumbai region has started. Mumbai & surrounding areas will get frequent heavy to moderate showers next 4 days. Overall heavy rains but nowhere near as heavy as last spell. #MumbaiRains

Mumbai region got some Heavy to moderate showers last 12 hours. On-off showers to continue next couple of days. From Sunday onwards intensity of rains to increase further. Rest of July going to be rainy. #MumbaiRains

Next 36 hours Mumbai will be mostly cloudy with few passing showers likely. Rains will gradually increase from this Sunday onwards. Next week going to be Wet. #MumbaiRains

Mumbai will be mostly dry next couple of days. Little bit increase in rains with few showers possible around 16 July. No heavy rains likely this week. #MumbaiRains

Next few days Mumbai will be mostly dry with only isolated passing showers likely. Around 15-16 July moderate increase in rains likely. #MumbaiRains

Further decrease in #MumbaiRains from here on. Next few hours Mumbai region will be mostly dry with passing showers.

@ShSh10293 I said Thursday onwards. 12-24 hours difference is ok. System can linger longer.

@IndiaWeatherMan You said today onwards it will be dry..your latest post says again 24 to 36 hours rains are expected...

Some had doubts when I said Mumbai water supply level will cross 35% by Thursday. Well it's done even better as it's reaches 41.36%. Next 48 hrs should see more increase. This is much needed as long term forecast are not encouraging but hopefully couple of more good weather systems rest of the season to take water level over 90%. #MumbaiRains

Mumbai-Thane-Palghar region will get intermittent heavy to moderate showers next 24-36 hours, overall intensity will be lower than last few days. After that mostly dry weather with Sunny spells likely next few days. Uncertainty over when next weather sytsem affecting Mumbai will form. #MumbaiRains

@jitendragoudaj Told you so 😉

@jitendragoudaj It’s coming next 4 days. Let’s revisit this on Thursday.

Mumbai water supply increased from 9.41% to 13.19%. I’m expecting to cross 35% by Thursday. Good news!

Few heavy to moderate showers likely for Northern Suburbs and Thane & interiors for next couple of hours. #MumbaiRains

Many parts of Mumbai region especially Northern Suburbs will get heavy to moderate showers next couple of hours. #MumbaiRains

Raging Sea at Worli Sea Face and Shivaji Park. #MumbaiRains

I’m not scared of anyone. I clearly said politicians across party lines in Maharashtra are corrupt which has created other problems potholes, gobbling up open spaces etc. Anyone who disagree with this is either biased or living under cave. But fact is BMC handling of extreme rain events has improved last few years even before BJP came into power.

@IndiaWeatherMan This is the situation at Khopoli Pali Road residences. 2 days back nearby dam flood gates were open. 6-7 feet high water inside ground floor homes

I know there is debate about BMC & State Govt handling of Mumbai Rains. There is always room for improvements but given the intense extreme rain event of 1200mm in just 8 days they did decent enough job. Any city in the world would have struggled. BMC & all politicians across party lines in Maharashtra are very corrupt which has created other problems which deserves criticism but handing of extreme rain events they have got considerably better. #MumbaiRains

@terence_fdes IMD Santacruz official numbers

@IndiaWeatherMan You mean Santacruz weather bureau data that BMC has traditionally maintained for suburbs? Or Santacruz East? Or Santacruz West?

So Santacruz, Mumbai recorded over 1100mm rainfall last 8 days.. That’s almost half the seasons rainfall and more than average July rainfall. As expected there were lots of disruption but this was needed to increase water supply. Mumbai still will be fine as El Niño has less impact on West Coast compared to most parts of India. But North India and some parts of Central India likely to see deficit rainfall this season. #MumbaiRains

Mumbai has seen these extreme rain events all its recorded history but last 20 years we have seen increase in intensity as due to rising sea temperatures more intense weather systems are forming. Things going to get worse next few decades with extreme rain events. #MumbaiRains
