The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday said that Mumbai and suburbs will experince moderate rain with occasional intense spell and gusty winds at times.

Tide timings:

High Tide

1702 hours 3.23 metre

Low tide

2331 hours 1.28 metre

When there is a high tide during the rainy season, it becomes difficult for the flooded water to recede. Low tide helps floodwaters in the city to find an outlet to enter the seas.

The IMD on Monday said that the island city, eastern suburbs, and western suburbs recorded 19.74 mm, 16.36 mm and 15.92 mm rain, respectively, in the last 24 hours.

Meanwhile, the deep depression centring over north interior Odisha and adjoining north Chhattisgarh will weaken into a depression during the next six hours, informed the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday.
