The city recorded the second highest rainfall in the last 45 years on Tuesday causing accidents that claimed the lives of 24 people in a wall collapse in Malad. Besides, several subways and roads have been shut due to water logging and flooding.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), more rain is predicted between July 3 and 5 with close to 200 mm or more rain expected per day.
