Mumbai Rains: How to Report Road Closure on Google Maps

Mumbai weather: The Mumbai rains this year are unusually severe.

Rains in Mumbai have paralysed the city on Tuesday and the Mumbai weather forecast predicts more rain. Mumbai gets a lot of rain every year during the monsoon season but over 300mm of rain in a single day is extremely unusual even for Mumbai weather. Over 50 flights have been diverted or cancelled from Mumbai airport, which was affected due to a plane skidding off the runway. The latest Mumbai rains update brings slightly better news as it has stopped pouring as much at the time of writing.

The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) has been blamed for the flooding but the civic body has claimed that there’s not much anyone can do when it rains this much in such a short period. This kind of a deluge has been witnessed only twice since the 1970s. The Mumbai rain helpline number list is available here. If you search Mumbai rains on Google, you will see a helpful Google Translate suggestion as well, which shows people common phrases in Marathi that might be useful in case you’re stuck in the deluge.
