Scary look of the sea: BMC’s strict warning to citizens
Apart from the rain, the real danger lies in the sea of Mumbai. Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued a very important and scary alert. There is a high tide period in the sea from July 14 to 18, 2026, where the height of the waves is expected to be more than 4.5 meters (about 15 feet). If heavy rains and high tide come together, the risk of flooding in the city increases. In view of this dire situation, BMC has strongly appealed to the citizens not to go near the beaches during this period. At present, there may not be any possibility of heavy, devastating rains today, but the rising sea waves and the forecast for the next week clearly show that Mumbai needs to be completely alert right now!
