It has a strong presence in many parts of the state, including Mumbai. It has been raining continuously in Mumbai since yesterday. Rainfall in Mumbai is expected to increase further. The BMC and the disaster management department are on alert point after a torrential downpour today.
At 3:53 pm today, waves 4.07 meters or 13.35 feet high will rise in the sea. If torrential rains continue during this high tide, sea water will reach Mumbai city and suburbs through drainage lines.
This is likely to lead to waterlogging and traffic congestion. Apart from this, the Mithi River, Poisar River, Dahisar River and Aarey River (which have now been converted into Nala) flowing in Mumbai have not been cleaned and a large amount of garbage has fallen on the city roads. This chalks up the drainage line and increases water retention. Which will cause waterlogging in many places.
