Answer:
Rainy day in the city of Mumbai
Explanation:
Mumbai has seen frequent torrential rainstorms and high tides for more than 300 years. The city continues to receive the same quantity of rain.
Mumbai saw water logging as a result of the prolonged, heavy downpours, which even forced the closure of several highways and rail lines. Mumbai Police issued a warning to residents on Wednesday, advising them to stay inside their homes unless absolutely necessary and to stay away from flooded areas.
Hundreds of people were seen ditching their cars and walking back to their homes on Wednesday evening as the intense rain subsided.
Several areas of the city experienced waterlogging. The next few days are expected to see "heavy to extremely severe rains," according to the weather service.
According to the meteorological agency, these rains are precursors to the monsoon. Since Wednesday night, the region has experienced severe rainfall as the South West Monsoon has grown active across the southern states. Today, the monsoon made it to the Konkan and Goa coasts.
