Mumbai floods after July 26, 2005, 29th August 2017 turned out to be a pretty flood(y) event in the city of Mumbai. These floods are one of the biggest monsoon disasters in the recent years. If the same amount of rain happened in May and June, it would not have been this bad a case. But Mumbai already has had about 2,000 mm of rainfall this monsoon season (since June) which is more than normal. Just because the soil has absorbed all the moisture from before, there is a greater impact right now.
It was stated according to the Meteorological officials, a low-pressure area had developed over southern Madhya Pradesh, which led to rains all over the country. The meteorological department has predicted more rain in large parts of Maharashtra and Gujarat over the next couple of days. For Mumbai, it could mean nearly 500 mm over three to four days.
