The month of July is a bliss to Mumbaikars as their favourite weather arrives. Mumbai welcomes monsoon with zeal and anticipation as the famous view spots like Nariman point and Bandra band stand turn into romantic destinations. The city is filled with laughter as children turn the streets into waterparks and youngsters can have their own football arena.

Mumbai monsoon is a bliss to it's citizens, but from the past few years it has turned into a nightmare. With the highly anticipated rains comes water-logging, potholes, accidents, traffic jam and damage. This year, the city received 540 millimetres of rainfall since Sunday night which is the highest over a two-day period in the last decade. The Regional Meteorological Centre issued a warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall in the city and its suburbs. Places like Bandra, Dadar, Wadala, Sion, Virar, Vasai King Circle and Palghar are already submerged in water making it difficult for people to even step out of their houses.
