The Mumbai monsoon arrived two weeks ahead of schedule on May 26, marking the earliest onset since 1990. The city received 135 mm of rain in 24 hours, breaking a 107-year-old record for May rainfall. The sudden downpour caused waterlogging in many areas and disrupted the newly inaugurated metro service. Experts discuss if this early, intense monsoon is linked to climate change and if cities are prepared for such extreme weather events. The heavy rainfall disrupted daily life but brought cheer to residents eager for respite from the summer heat. The early onset of monsoon highlights both the city’s infrastructure challenges and the resilient spirit of Mumbaikars. Meanwhile, India has surpassed Japan to become the world’s fourth-largest economy, though challenges remain in addressing inequality and urban governance issues. #mumbaimonsoon #mansoonmayhem #urbanflooding #infrastructurechallenges #extremeweather #indiaeconomy #climatechange #waterscarcity #urbaninfrastructure
