Mumbai received significant rainfall over the past 24 hours, with different parts of Greater Mumbai recording between 150 mm and 170 mm of rain. Official data showed the island city received an average of 153 mm, while the eastern suburbs recorded 121 mm and the western suburbs received 93 mm.
Despite the heavy showers and a high tide of 4.19 metres on Sunday afternoon, there were no reports of major waterlogging, and Mumbai’s suburban railway network continued to function normally.
The BMC credited its extensive pre-monsoon preparations for reducing the impact of the rainfall. Before the monsoon season began, civic teams surveyed more than 1.62 lakh trees, pruned over 1.03 lakh trees and removed 648 trees identified as hazardous, helping minimise disruptions across the city.
