Even as heavy rain lashed the city on Saturday for the second consecutive day, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) raised an alert over imminent spells of heavy to very heavy rainfall expected to lash Mumbai and the adjoining Metropolitan Region (MMR) in the coming days.
Though the intensity of alert issued by IMD is yellow, the weather department’s warning comes amid reports of high tide exceeding the four-metre mark, a phenomenon that could cause potential flooding issues in low-lying areas of the city. Private weather observers have echoed these concerns.
