In span of last six hours from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm, the city has already recorded 46 mm of rain. Weather conditions continue to be favourable for more heavy rains and thus, Mumbai is all set to see another spell of three-digit rainfall for the fourth consecutive day.
These torrential showers have brought the city to halt, with most of the city roads and streets submerged in water. Flights and trains are already running behind the schedule with tracks and runway flooded with several feet of water. Besides this, high tide further aggravates the situation which throws water back from the sea to the city. Looking at this, local administration has closed the schools to avoid any untoward incident.
