The country’s financial capital, Mumbai, woke up to flooded streets and waterlogged areas after heavy downpour on July 13 night. The heavy downpour also led to massive traffic jams in several parts of the city.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said there will be intense showers in both Thane and Raigad districts. “Intense spells of rain are very likely to occur at isolated places in Raigad and Thane during the next three to four hours,” IMD Mumbai said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on July 14 morning.
