Mumbai Faces Third Day of Downpour, Orange Alert Issued
Mumbai is getting a lot of rain!
It has been raining hard for three days, and the weather people say it will keep raining.
Some areas are under a red alert, meaning the rain could be very strong.
Because of all the rain, one of the lakes that gives water to Mumbai is overflowing.
This has also caused water to collect on the roads, making it hard to get around.
The rain is expected to continue because of a weather system coming from the ocean.
Mumbai experienced heavy rainfall for three consecutive days, prompting an orange alert.
The IMD issued red alerts for Raigad and Ratnagiri, anticipating heavy to extremely heavy rainfall.
Tansa lake, one of Mumbai's water sources, overflowed due to the downpour.
Waterlogging caused traffic disruptions and subway closures in Mumbai.
The heavy rain is linked to a low-pressure area forming over the Bay of Bengal.
