The India Meteorological Department (IMD) Colaba observatory recorded the highest one-day rainfall in July at 227.8 mm since 2015.” The weather department also issued a yellow alert indicating heavy to very heavy rain at isolated places in Mumbai till 5 July. Meanwhile, Southwest monsoon has covered the entire country as it brought seasonal rains to Gujarat and Rajasthan, the India Meteorological Department said earlier. “Southwest monsoon has covered the entire country on Saturday, six days before the normal date of 8 July,” the weather office said. The southwest monsoon had its onset over Kerala on 29 May, three days ahead of the normal date of 1 June.
