In 2005, over a
period of 24 hours, the city of Mumbai witnessed 944mm of rain. The same city
experienced 330mm rain over the same period in 2017. Since the rains were
unexpected in 2005, there was no preparation and the city faced several
damages. In 2017, the Indian Meteorological Department predicted the showers
about a week in advance. So, various precautions could be taken to combat the
impending disaster.

comparison of Mumbai flood :
Explanation:
The 2017 Mumbai flood refers to the flooding that occurred on 29 August 2017 following heavy rain on 29 August 2017 in Mumbai. Transport systems were unavailable through parts of the city as trains and roadways were shut. Power was shut off from various parts of the city to prevent electrocution.[1] The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) called the South Asian floods one of the worst regional humanitarian crises in years.[2] This event can be compared with the 2005 floods in Mumbai, which recorded 944 mm (37.17 inches) of rainfall within 24 hours on 26 July.
