The island city received 235mm of rain in four hours (between 12 am and 4 am) on Sunday, according to weather officials, hours after a similar extreme weather event resulted in the season’s highest daily rainfall (253mm) on Friday.

Torrential rain from a thunderstorm, described by meteorologists as “monstrous”, hammered Mumbai, flooding low-lying areas, triggering landslides, house collapses and electrocutions that resulted in the deaths of at least 31 people, officials said.

A video released showed heavy rainfall leading to waterlogging and cars submerged in Marine Drive, South Mumbai.
