“Isolated to Scattered rainfall likely over Madhya Maharashtra during 8th-10th July; Marathawada during 6th10th July; Gujarat Region during 9th-10th July; Saurashtra & Kutch during 7th-10th July,” IMD stated.
Due to the heavy rainfall, several places also witnessed waterlogging. The intense monsoon showers had already triggered widespread civic chaos and traffic disruptions across the city, along with a tragic casualty in the suburbs. The earlier spell of heavy rain caused multiple trees to fall across the western suburbs, blocking several key roads. The rain has also had a tragic cost this monsoon season. An 11-year-old student died, and several others were hurt when a tree fell on a school bus in Chembur during an earlier spell of heavy rain and strong winds.

Not just VB but others passing on the same track. Would make a good video screen saver.”
