Rainy nightmares
It is the repeating phenomena, during the monsoon on each high tide, if it rains around 200 mm in 24 hours you are sure to get an deluge, halting the local train operations and consequences.
July 1st was one of such day, it started raining previous night and continued till the afternoon, Central Railway stopped functioning. The high tide around 11am in the morning added to the woes as water logged could not be drained out for a period of more than three hours affecting the day to day activities of mumbaities.
Every monsoon the situation aggravates as the infrastructure of the mumbai is pressurized by the development and ever growing population of migrants. Political circles are busy talking constitute gives right to its citizen of settling where ever they want in India, but never think about this preposition. Now municipal commissioner Mr. Jairaj Phatak wants us to live with these problems as they are beyond control of municipal corporation. Irony is last week he announced 15% water cut as rain was not sufficient in june 2008.

Monsoon in Mumbai
Premonsoon showers are their in the last week. Every evening their is a silent thunderstorm and a shower follows. Still there is no respite from the heat, day temperature remains in constant around 35 degree celsius with humidy to give a experience of 40 degree celsius.
Mett. department is expecting monsoon to arrive on 10th of June, as it has arrived in kerala on 31st of May hoping everything goes normal.
As usual municipal corporations are doing their last minute work of cleaning drains, long drawn work completion like asphalting of roads and finishing some concrete stuffs.
