184 mm of rain recorded at Santa Cruz. About 820mm already in the first 10 days of July.

Unfortunately the WRD no longer updates the reservoir status for Mumbai lakes daily as was the case last year.

Guess 2018 monsoon from june 10 - july 10 must be most volatile and vigorous for last 10-20 years. In 1 month around 1600mm has rained over Mumbai - Thane/Navi Mumbai must be much more and must have reached 2000mm +. Mumbai now exceed Mangalore rain. Thanks Vagaries (Rajesh/Abhijeet) for including Belapur in map- seems to be most wettest spot in Navi Mumbai - all hills and rains....
When will rains stop ??

Thanks Rajesh for your update. May I request if during the monsoon, you could update us atleast once in 2 days, barring any personal constraints you may have,

Unfortunately dents the credibility of the readers of this excellent site of yours with an international following.
