After witnessing heavy rainfall at isolated places over the past few days, Mumbai experienced only light showers over the weekend. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Thane on July 26, while Raigad has been placed under an orange alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places on July 26 and a yellow alert on July 27.

Reservoir Levels Remain Healthy

Mumbai has already surpassed its average July rainfall of 920 mm, with the IMD's Colaba observatory recording 1,570 mm and Santacruz recording 1,876 mm till Saturday. The surplus was largely driven by intense rainfall between July 1 and 8.

Meanwhile, the seven lakes supplying water to the city have reached a combined storage of 12.11 lakh million litres (ML), or 83 per cent of their total capacity, enough to meet Mumbai's water needs for 295 days. The city requires 14.47 lakh ML in its reservoirs by October 1 to ensure an uninterrupted year-round supply.
