Mumbai has received around 74 per cent of its average July rainfall in just the first four days of the month, according to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
The civic body said several parts of the city recorded 250 mm to 300 mm of rainfall in the 24 hours ending on 4 July 2026. This amounts to nearly 40 per cent of July's average rainfall and about 25 per cent of the city's annual seasonal rainfall.
Among all locations, Vikhroli recorded the highest rainfall at 316 mm in the past 24 hours, making it the highest single-day rainfall recorded in the area this year.
Over the last four days, Mumbai has received around 588 mm of rainfall, highlighting the intensity of the ongoing monsoon.
Despite continuous heavy rain and a 4.26-metre high tide recorded at 2:50 pm on 4 July, normal life in Mumbai remained largely unaffected.
According to the BMC, suburban and city railway services continued to operate, and there was no major disruption to daily life across the city.
The BMC received reports of waterlogging at around 10 low-lying locations across Mumbai. Civic teams responded quickly and cleared the accumulated water.
The Emergency Management Department also received 103 complaints related to trees and branches, including 18 incidents of fallen trees.
In addition, 17 incidents involving the collapse of houses or compound walls were reported during the period.
The BMC stated that no fatalities were reported in any of the weather-related incidents, including tree falls, structural collapses, or waterlogging.
The civic officials said nearly 10,000 officers and civic staff remained deployed across Mumbai to monitor weather conditions and respond to emergencies during heavy rains in the city. Senior officials continued to oversee operations throughout the day.
A separate incident was reported on Lal Bahadur Shastri Road in Bhandup (West), where part of an excavation at a private construction site collapsed.
The BMC immediately secured the area with barricades and took necessary safety measures to prevent any danger to the public.
