As per reports, with almost 2 months still left for the monsoon to end, Mumbai has already surpassed the 2,000 mm rainfall mark and has so far covered 91.4 percent of the season’s average rain.
Guys, stay home and stay safe. Also, take care of animals around you and provide them shelter, if possible.
