Just as three years ago, the monsoon arrived in Mumbai on June 9. With it, came the routine scenario of flooded roads, localities and local trains temporarily coming to a halt. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday officially declared the arrival of the Southwest Monsoon — two days before its due date of June 11 — over Mumbai, Thane, and Palghar, and along with it, issued a Red Alert for the city of Mumbai, followed by an Orange Alert for the next four days.
