Maharashtra Rains:  An alert has been issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for extremely heavy rainfall in Thane and Mumbai on July 28. On the other hand, according to the IMD, no district in Maharashtra is under an orange alert from July 28 to July 30. As of July 29, no alerts have been issued for Mumbai.

The city was brought to its knees by the week's nonstop rain, which had a significant impact on daily life. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) reports that on July 27, the water levels in Mumbai's seven lakes rose sharply, surpassing the 70 percent mark, an increase of five percent from the day before.

Mumbai is now accustomed to seeing waterlogging as a result of the ongoing downpour. Residents are being warned to prepare for more bad weather due to advisories and alerts that have been issued due to the persistent rains.

Mumbai is expected to have just moderate rains from Monday to Wednesday, according to the IMD forecast. The BMC data stated that, between Friday and Saturday morning, the city had 20 reports of partial home collapses, fallen trees, and short circuits. No fatalities were recorded in any of the instances, according to civic officials.

Heavy Rain Alert In Pune

Pune, meanwhile, is getting ready for further rains as the IMD has issued an orange signal for heavy rainfall until July 31. The Pune city council issued an alert for residents living in low-lying regions along the banks of the Pavana and Mula rivers that flow through the civic boundaries, and some 3,000 people have been moved to temporary shelters.

Pune had the third-highest July rainfall, with 114.1 mm recorded in Shivajinagar. This would be the city's tenth-highest rainfall ever recorded. Pune saw its all-time high rainfall of 181.1 mm on October 10, 2010, a record high.

More than 5,800 residents in Kolhapur, Western Maharashtra, relocated to safer areas after the Panchganga River began to flow over the danger line, according to officials.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde gave the district administration instructions to give residents all the assistance they need after reviewing the flood situation in Kolhapur. He requested that the representatives work with the Karnataka administration to arrange for the nearby state's Almatti Dam to release water.

According to authorities, the Panchganga River's water level might rise higher if heavy rain persists in its catchment region. Two NDRF teams and an Indian Army team have been sent to this location.
