Wettest August day since 2020: Mumbai records 200mm rain overnight, 2 dead in Vikhroli landslide
MUMBAI: The city woke on Saturday to the aftermath of one of its wettest nights in recent years, as torrential rain battered Mumbai while most were asleep. Between late Friday night and early Saturday morning, several neighbourhoods recorded over 200 mm of rainfall, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to upgrade its warning from orange (heavy to very heavy rain) to red (extremely heavy rain, likely to cause disruption and damage). Mumbai, India - August 16, 2025: People going through the logging water at Tilak Nagar in Mumbai, India, on Saturday, August 16, 2025. (Photo by Satish Bate/ Hindustan Times) (Hindustan Times) In the 24 hours between 8:30am on Friday and Saturday, Santacruz had logged 244.7 mm—the city's heaviest single-day rainfall recorded by the observatory since 2020. In contrast, Colaba recorded 83.2 mm. But the downpour, as is often the case in Mumbai, brought tragedy with it. Around 2.30AM, a landslide at Parksite in Vikhroli claimed the lives of two members of a family and left two others injured. Rainfall intensified after 11PM on Friday, peaking between 1AM and 4AM. In those three hours, the eastern and western suburbs bore the brunt: Marol recorded 207 mm, Santacruz 202 mm, and Vikhroli 196 mm. In the island city, Sion's Pratiksha Nagar logged 134 mm. 'The warning was updated due to the strengthening of synoptic conditions earlier than expected,' said Shubhangi Bhute, head of the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Mumbai. 'A low-pressure system created an east-west trough along the Arabian Sea, which triggered heavy rainfall across the Konkan. The entire west coast can expect more intense showers in the coming days.' Streets under water By morning, several areas were inundated. In Chunabhatti, a scooter was found overturned and submerged, while a rickshaw's front end dipped into the floodwaters. At Sakinaka, residents waded through waist-deep water; Jogeshwari West resembled a pool; and Hindmata in Dadar once again turned into a lake, forcing the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to deploy dewatering pumps. Waterlogging was also reported in Bandra West, Chembur, Juhu, Vile Parle, Ghatkopar and on the Santacruz–Chembur Link Road. Predictably, the Andheri subway and Aarey underpass were shut due to flooding. In Navi Mumbai, streets too were submerged in knee-deep water. Transport hit across city The deluge disrupted road and rail traffic. Central and Harbour Line train services slowed down, while waterlogged roads threw BEST buses off schedule. At Mumbai airport, at least 15 flights were forced into go-arounds before landing safely, including an IndiGo Airbus A321 that had a tail strike on touchdown. Two flights were diverted to Nagpur and Ahmedabad before eventually returning. Fortunately, as most of the downpour occurred overnight, floodwaters gradually receded through the morning. Janmashtami celebrations went ahead largely unhindered, though the BMC kept pumping stations and disaster management teams on high alert. Municipal commissioner Bhushan Gagrani said he was monitoring the situation from the control room. By noon, rainfall activity had eased, prompting the IMD to downgrade Sunday's warning back to orange. Between 8AM and 6PM on Saturday, the island city recorded 54.59 mm of rain, the western suburbs 39.02 mm, and the eastern suburbs 19.37 mm. According to the IMD, the city remains under an orange alert till Tuesday, before a downgrade to yellow (moderate rainfall) on Wednesday. By 6:45PM, the Tulsi Lake in the SGNP started overflowing, having reached its maximum capacity of 8,046 million litres. The dams that supply water to Mumbai are currently at 90.16% capacity.

Hurricane Erin roars to category 5, will miss US landfall; here's how it might affect New York and the Jersey shore indirectly
Hurricane Erin , the first major storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 hurricane , according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). The storm, located north of the northern Leeward Islands, is generating sustained winds of 160 mph (260 km/h) and poses significant hazards to the Caribbean region. As of 2 PM AST (1 PM ET) Saturday, the center of Hurricane Erin was near 19.8°N latitude and 63.3°W longitude, roughly 110 miles north of Anguilla and 205 miles east-northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Erin is moving west at 16 mph (26 km/h) and is expected to turn west-northwest tonight, followed by a northward shift early next week. The hurricane has a central pressure of 915 millibars (27.02 inches) and hurricane-force winds extending up to 30 miles (45 km) from its center. Tropical-storm-force winds reach 140 miles (220 km), mostly to the north. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo The NHC warns of heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and landslides across the northern Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Potential impact on New York While Erin is forecast to remain offshore as it moves along the East Coast of the United States, its trajectory will take it between Bermuda and coastal states by midweek. Live Events The New York metropolitan area could feel Erin's effects, according to CBS, particularly along the Jersey Shore and Long Island's South Shore, even without a landfall, from Tuesday, August 19, through Thursday. Coastal communities may experience: High surf and waves up to 12 feet Dangerous rip currents Beach erosion and minor flooding Wind gusts between 20 and 40 mph There is a slight chance that some of Erin's outer rainbands could bring light showers. Still, inland areas, including the Hudson Valley, northern and central New Jersey, and Connecticut, are likely to see mostly cloudy skies and breezy conditions. Historical context This is not the first Hurricane Erin to approach New York. In 2001, a Category 3 Hurricane Erin passed roughly 500 miles southeast of the city during the September 11 attacks. The 2025 storm is the seventh use of the name since the late 1980s; previous Erins did not cause enough destruction to retire the name. How is Hurricane Erin named? Hurricane Erin was named according to the official Atlantic hurricane naming system maintained by the World Meteorological Organization. The Atlantic hurricane season uses six rotating lists of names, recycled every six years, with names assigned alphabetically as storms reach tropical storm strength (winds of 39 mph or higher). Names alternate between male and female; a name is only retired if a storm is deadly or destructive. Erin has been used seven times since the late 1980s because previous storms with this name did not cause catastrophic damage. The storm receives its name once it becomes a tropical storm, regardless of how strong it later intensifies on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

Harsil artificial lake begins to recede, manual drainage underway
Uttarakashi: The temporary lake formed last week in the Kheer Ganga and Til Gad streams, which had posed a threat to downstream settlements and the Gangotri highway, is gradually receding as manual drainage efforts continue. According to the disaster management department, the artificial lake, formed near the Army camp and helipad in Harsil, initially measured about 1,200 metres in length, 150 metres in width and 4 metres in depth. Disaster management officer Shardul Gusain said, "On Saturday morning, large volumes of water were drained, shrinking the lake to about 1,000 metres in length, 120 metres in width and 3.5 metres in depth. Parapets of the highway that had been submerged have also started appearing, raising hopes that the water level is steadily receding." Officials said heavy silt from the upper reaches of the Bhagirathi has been accumulating in the lake along with water, creating tonnes of debris and hampering machine operations. Manual clearance of debris blocking the riverbank is being carried out "on a war footing," with joint efforts from the Army, NDRF, SDRF, ITBP, the DDMA quick response team, the irrigation department and the police. A team of 30 engineers and personnel from Uttarakhand Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd (UJVNL) and the irrigation department has also been deployed. SDRF and UJVNL teams have cut and removed logs stuck in the lake and are manually channelising water from the shore to improve flow. Two outboard motor (OBM) boats from the NDRF have also been pressed into service, officials said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
