Mumbai Completes Its Average July Rainfall in Just 7 Days
Heavy rains make up for June's rainfall deficit
Mumbai: After an unusually dry June that had raised concerns among Mumbaikars, the city has witnessed exceptionally heavy rainfall during the first seven days of July. According to Rajesh Kapadia of Vagaries of the Weather, the rainfall received during these seven days has already exceeded the city's average rainfall for the entire month of July.
Both Santacruz and Colaba have crossed their respective monthly July rainfall averages within just one week.
Santacruz normally records an average of 919 mm of rainfall during the entire month of July. However, this year, it has already received 988.4 mm in the first seven days alone—69.4 mm above the monthly average.
Similarly, Colaba, whose average July rainfall is 768 mm, has recorded 880.4 mm during the same period—112.4 mm above its monthly average.
The heaviest rainfall occurred on 5 July, when both observatories recorded more than 200 mm of rain. These torrential spells have effectively erased the rainfall deficit created during the dry month of June, bringing much-needed relief to Mumbai.
