Photograph: Divyakant Solanki/EPA More than 30 people have died in the Indian city of Mumbai after an intense burst of rainfall caused a landslide and wall collapse, as changing monsoon patterns due to climate change lead to more extreme rains across Heavy rainfall, described by meteorologists as “monstrous”, hammered down on India’s financial capital over the weekend causing mass devastation. In the eastern suburb of Chembur, the collapse of a wall in the night led to a landslide that enveloped homes as people were sleeping and killed at least 21, according to the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). At least 10 people were also killed in the suburb of Vikhroli in the city’s north-east, when a landslide hit several homes, and three others in the city were killed in separate incidents. The rain also inundated a water purification plant, leaving part of the city without drinking water. Mumbai residents were advised to boil water from the tap before consuming it. With heavy rainfall predicted for the next five days, the city is bracing itself for further casualties. A wall collapsed on some shanties in Chembur’s Bharat Nagar area d...

Climate chart - Mumbai In Mumbai (formerly Bombay), the capital of the state of Maharashtra, the climate is tropical, hot all year round, with a long, sunny season from early or mid-October to early June and a rainy season from June to September or early October. The latter is due to the south-west monsoon and is characterized by stuffy weather, cloud cover and frequent rains, which occur almost every day and are sometimes torrential. In the pre-monsoon period, from March to May, the heat becomes intense, in fact, the temperature can sometimes reach 38/40 °C (100/104 °F); this partly happens also in the period after the monsoon, in October and November, when it can reach 36/38 °C (97/100 °F). In winter, from December to February, the weather is normally hot and sunny. During the day, it gets sometimes very hot, in fact, the temperature can reach 35/36 °C (95/97 °F), while at night, it normally returns below 20 °C (68 °F), and from time to time, it can even drop below 15 °C (59 °F): it is better to bring a sweatshirt for safety.

MUMBAI, June 8 (Reuters) - Monsoon rain reached the coast of India's southernmost Kerala state on Thursday, offering relief to farmers after a delay of more than a week, marking its latest arrival in four years. The monsoon, the lifeblood of India's $3 trillion economy, delivers nearly 70% of the rain needed to water its farms and recharge reservoirs and aquifers. It also brings relief from the worst of the hot weather. In the absence of irrigation systems, nearly half of India's farmland depends on the June-September rains and their late arrival could delay the planting of rice, cotton, corn, soybean and sugar cane, traders said. "Southwest Monsoon has set in over Kerala today, the 8th June, 2023, against the normal date of 1st June," the state-run India Meteorological Department (IMD) said in a statement. This year, the IMD had expected the rains to arrive over the state's coast on June 4 but the formation of severe cyclonic storm Biparjoy in the Arabian Sea delayed their onset. The cyclone would gradually intensify further during next 18 hours, with winds gusting up to 170 km per hour, and would move approximately northwestwards during the next three days, the IMD said in a statement on Thursday. It has advised fishing workers to return to the coast and avoid fishing in the central and northern Arabian Sea until June 14. The IMD confirms the monsoon has begun after taking into account rainfall measured at weather stations in the southern state of Kerala and westerly win...

"Generally, whenever there is a cyclone, it affects the onset of the monsoon. This may cause a delay of about one or two days," an official told PTI. "As the cyclone moves further, it is likely to go north and at that time, we will be able to see the impact that it can have on our coast,” said Sunil Kamble, the head of Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) Mumbai. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the cyclone is moving far away from coastal areas of Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra and Gujarat but the areas are still likely to receive strong winds and heavy rain in isolated areas. Also Read: The IMD issued a warning to fishermen not to venture into areas that may be affected. In the next 24 hours, warnings will be issued for coastal areas as well. The weather department in a tweet said that squally winds of 45-55 kmph speed and gusting to 65 kmph are very likely over the northeast Arabian Sea and off the north Gujarat coast. Mumbai is currently witnessing a delay in the onset of monsoons. It gets water supply from seven different lakes: Tansa, Bhatsa, Modak Sagar, Tulsi, Vihar, Upper Vaitarna and Middle Vaitarna, that get filled with rainwater. However, officials said that for now there is nothing to worry about as there is enough water for regular supply till June 30. Meanwhile, the monsoon is expected in Mumbai by June 15. Talking about cyclone Biparjoy, IMD officials said that this is the first cyclone of 2023 in was Arabian sea. They said that they are ...

In an annual ritual, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has set June 11 as the date of the onset of monsoon in Mumbai and has said that the conditions have become favourable over the city. First, though, it will arrive in the Konkan and Goa regions. The monsoon has already arrived in Karnataka and is estimated to intensify over Mumbai and the adjoining areas after June 15. An official from the IMD Mumbai said, “The monsoon has reached Karwar in Karnataka, and we are currently monitoring the situation. We will have to wait for it to enter south Konkan and Goa before it reaches Mumbai.” Mahesh Palawat of Skymet Weather also confirmed that pre-monsoon activities have begun. “However, rains will not be very heavy like the typical monsoon in the beginning,” he said, adding that activity in Kerala is currently weak, but northeast India is observing a good rainfall. “Mumbai, too, will gradually experience a good rainfall post mid June,” he added. On Monday, the minimum temperature recorded in Santacruz was 28 degrees Celsius and the maximum was 34.1 degrees Celsius, with relative humidity touching 67 per cent. Colaba, meanwhile, experienced a minimum temperature of 27 degrees Celsius.
