The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted extremely heavy rainfall over parts of Konkan and Goa, south Madhya Maharashtra and Coastal Karnataka on Monday, June 10, and over North Interior Karnataka from June 10-11.
In Mumbai, the Tagore Nagar area recorded the highest rainfall of 158.2 mm in just five hours, between 8 pm and 1 am, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said.
“Additionally, various locations reported rainfall ranging from 100 to 150 mm. During these five hours, the city area's average rainfall was 99.11 mm. The eastern suburbs recorded 61.29 mm, while the western suburbs recorded 73.78 mm,” it stated.
The civic body shared that the overall situation remained under control in the city.
“The entire BMC administration and machinery worked tirelessly to drain the rainwater accumulated in some low-lying areas due to the heavy rains and to keep Mumbai running. As a result, the water receded quickly, and the situation remained under control. Road traffic and suburban railways are also running smoothly,” it stated.
The Met Department announced that the southwest monsoon arrived in the maximum city two days ahead of the schedule due to favourable conditions along the Maharashtra coast.
The weather department, in its daily bulletin, said that a cyclonic circulation lies over northeast Assam in lower tropospheric levels, adding that "strong southwesterly/ southerly winds are prevailing from the Bay of Bengal to northeastern States in lower tropospheric levels."
It said that fairly widespread light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds in the range of 30-40 kmph is expected over Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim during the next seven days.
Further, isolated heavy rainfall is likely over the Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh from June 10-14.
Besides these regions, widespread light to moderate rainfall is predicted over Konkan and Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, Karnataka, Kerala and Mahe, Lakshadweep during the next four to five days.
Moreover, light to moderate rainfall is expected over Bihar and Jharkhand during June 11-14.
"A Western Disturbance is seen as a trough in middle tropospheric westerlies roughly along Long. 70°E to the north of Lat. 28°N. A cyclonic circulation lies over northwest Uttar Pradesh in lower tropospheric levels," IMD stated.
"Very heavy rainfall likely to continue over Konkan & Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada and Coastal & North Interior Karnataka today & tomorrow," IMD added.
Delhi is likely to get the monsoon around June 29, the IMD said.
The weather office has projected a normal monsoon with spatial differences in areas. Southern and peninsular India is likely to witness above-normal rainfall, while Northeast India is likely to witness below-normal rainfall.
