After record showers in June and July, the monsoon lost momentum in August in the city, bringing in only 338 mm of rain—way below the average rainfall of 585 mm. Mumbai had recorded 1,220 mm of rainfall last August. Tuesday was among the handful of wet days in the month. Mumbai, Thane and Raigad may receive heavy rain at isolated places on Wednesday, said the weather department.
Several parts of the city were waterlogged for at least three days in June and July following spells of heavy rain. The Santacruz observatory of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) received 961 mm rain against 493 mm average rainfall in June. In July too, the city received almost 50 per cent more rain than usual.
