Thanks for this posting, Abhishek.

These downpours in a small region seems to be becoming more common.

The rain was more around midnight (in Andheri). It's stopped raining since long but the waters haven't completely receded yet.

What is happening every year for MAHA- Konkan soon may emerge as world heaviest rain spot.
Navi Mumbai non stop 24*7 torrential rains.

Much needed rains for the lake regions in Mumbai. Hope the next few days bring in more for the catchment areas.

Excellent crisp updates from Vagaries meanwhile. Thanks Rajesh, also, for the detailed forecasts for both Maharashtra and Gujarat.
