New Delhi: It is rightly said that everyone has seen and heard the magic of God, sometimes it is sunny and sometimes it is cloudy. This line is absolutely appropriate for the weather conditions of two capitals. On one hand, the country's capital Delhi, where people are yearning for rain after the torrential rain on June 28, on the other hand, there is Mumbai, which is called the economic capital of the country. The rain here in the last 24 hours between Sunday and Monday has again made a record. After 288 mm of rain, the situation has not yet become normal there. Even today, the Meteorological Department has issued a red alert. It rained in Delhi-NCR this afternoon but it is still insufficient. However, the record of maximum rainfall in a day has been made at both the places. In such a situation, questions are being raised that what has happened to the weather? That too when the IMD had said that this time the monsoon will cover the entire country before time.

Why is it raining so much in Mumbai?
Why does Mumbai have to face such a situation every year? Every year a good rain jams the entire city. The same thing happened between Sunday and Monday. Now let me explain the whole matter to you. Apart from the Arabian Sea, Mumbai is surrounded by four rivers. These rivers are Mithi, Dahisar, Oshiwara and Poisar. All these together make Mumbai more dangerous during monsoon. Talking about Mithi river, it surrounds the entire Mumbai. In such a situation, there is a danger of water overflowing even with a little rain. Due to dense settlement around it, it has a greater impact. This city situated on the seashore is situated very low at many places, while at many places it is at a very high altitude. As soon as the rain starts, the water automatically comes down and starts collecting. Some such areas are Sion, Andheri Metro, Milan Metro and Khar
Delhi received 228 mm of rain on June 28

Rain stopped again in Delhi
Monsoon arrived in Delhi early in the morning on 28 June. This time the monsoon arrived late due to which the people of Delhi were very happy and they hoped that this trend would continue but unfortunately this did not happen.
