Mumbai Rain Alerts Lifted as Central India Stays Under High-Impact Monsoon Watch

IMD forecasts light rain in Mumbai with reservoirs at 90 percent capacity even as central India remains on red alert.

Overview

  • The India Meteorological Department lifted all monsoon warnings for Mumbai on July 28, predicting only light to moderate showers over the next 48 hours.
  • Mumbai’s seven key reservoirs have reached about 90 percent of capacity after an early monsoon surge, easing the city’s water supply concerns.
  • A westward-moving depression over east Madhya Pradesh has prompted fresh red and orange alerts for heavy to extremely heavy rainfall across central India through July 29.
  • Last week’s opening of 15 Bargi Dam gates drove the Narmada River above flood level, submerging major ghats and prompting riverbank evacuations.
  • State and national disaster response forces remain on high alert with flood protocols and evacuation plans active in Madhya Pradesh and neighbouring states.
