The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Sunday said Mumbai recorded 142 incidents of trees and branches falling over the past 24 hours as strong winds gusting between 72 and 75 kilometre per hour (kmph) swept across the city amid heavy monsoon showers.

The civic body said around 150 to 170 mm of rainfall was recorded across different parts of Mumbai during the 24-hour period ending 5 pm on Sunday. Despite the intense rainfall and a high tide of 4.19 metres recorded at 3.22 pm, normal life remained largely unaffected, with no reports of waterlogging in the city or suburbs, the civic body claimed.
