Mumbai Weather: The monsoon's persistence brings continuous rainfall across several Indian states. In Mumbai, torrential rains have led to waterlogging in many parts of the city, with water invading homes. Between July 20th and July 21st, moderate to heavy rainfall is forecasted. The heavy rain belt currently hovers over the Sindhudurg-Konkan region and is set to move northward, crossing Mumbai in the process.

Exercise Caution During High Tides

July 21st and 22nd are expected to bring considerable rainfall to Mumbai. Even today, intermittent heavy rains will continue. A high tide alert has been issued for tonight (July 20th) around 9 PM, as the coastal edge of the city anticipates waves exceeding 10 feet, potentially resulting in an inverse water flow into flood-prone lower coastal areas, which could exacerbate the situation.

Potential Record for Monthly Rainfall

The low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal is expected to abate by July 21st-22nd. However, moderate rains will persist in Mumbai and surrounding regions until July 25th-26th, with no complete respite following. Meanwhile, India's financial capital, Mumbai, appears on track to set a substantial record for July monthly rainfall.
