Rajeshji, do you mean 4mm instead of cm for Gurgaon?
Full day was overcast with just 1mm noted till 7pm but 3 to 4 Heavy rain spells in Badlapur from 7pm to 10pm period. So 15mm rain measured in 3hrs. So today 8.30am to 11pm period, 16mm measured here. Now hoping for some sharp spells in night also.
Today north bangalore(near GKVK) got half an hour of heavy rain.
Hyderabad received good showers this evening. I sestimate around 25-30mm.
I think many places in Telangana might have received good rains too.
Despite of heavy cloud cover no rain in Surat.
Night added just 3mm here in Badlapur. So total past 24hrs rain is 19mm now(i.e yesterday 8.30am to today 8.30am),very dense & thick black cover from early morning but just continuous drizzling on!
Latest Radar image of Mumbai showing raining in many parts of North Pune District also, so much needed rain there as that full area is farming belt.
in this age of "vagaries" few things are certain:
IMD hotch potch forecast
Repeated failures of Mumbai doppler radar !

correct-> 26 july 2005 is very special for mumbai as 15 aug 1945indep day for country. 1000mm rain in 24 hours- got mumbai into guiness record. But if see 2010,2011 Mumbai witnessed more rain than 2005 as a whole.
What a contrast :
July 26, 2005 : Roughly 830 mm in 12 hrs:
2012: 877 mm in the whole year !!
26 July 2005 really Unforgettable day for Badlapur, Mumbai suburbs area. Almost 1200-1500mm in 24 hrs in Badlapur too. Badlapur Barrage dam's all Gates got uprooted(Gates were of 100tones but water force uprooted it) from base and whole Dam was burst and washed away as Highest Flood Level crossed 24 m mark ! This was British era dam specially built for Ordnance Factory! Now used for Badlapur- Ambernath city water supply! Again rebuilt in 2006
very very nostalgic - espacially dam built in British era - destroyed by rains - again rebuilt.
Abhijit - when exactly will Matheran British toy train start? How do we book in advance. Please send any agent or booking contact details? Are private vehicles allowed on top?
Thanks
venkatesh/vijayanand; seems B'lore receiving rains in scattered areas..
Arpit/vikas: Delhi NCR is scheduled to get some showers..and reports are coming in..
@ sset. Matheran toy train is closed in monsoon period i.e (from 15 June to 15 October period). But you can hire Taxi from Neral Railway station for Matheran. All vehicles have permission upto Dasturi Naka only. After that no vehicle is allowed as after that there is no Vehicle zone start to protect Matheran from pollution. It is the only Hill station where vehicles are not allowed . You can use only Horse as transporation. Rest detail you can find out from Internet by doing google search. Railway booking is available on online also on irctc.co.in. There you can get advance reservation for Neral- Matheran toy train. But now monsoon period so might be no toy train available!
@Abhijit Modak ,
"26 July 2005 really Unforgettable day for Badlapur, Mumbai suburbs area. Almost 1200-1500mm in 24 hrs in Badlapur"
That's amazing.....quite frightening as well. 120 to 150 cms in 24 hours....thats more than yearly rain for a lot of cities :)
