Heavy Mumbai rains which begun during the weekend and only came to an end a day before had wreaked havoc over the city. So much so that the city had witnessed four consecutive days of three digit rainfall activity which had caused massive traffic chaos and waterlogging in many areas. Office goers were the worst sufferers as they remained stuck in traffic for hours together.
However, now, heavy Mumbai rains have now taken a backseat and Mumbai rains have become light in intensity since the past 48 hours. During the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, Santa Cruz observatory recorded light rains to the tune of 5 mm. Rains were on the moderate side for Thane during the same time frame which recorded 15 mm of rainfall.
