<p>Mumbai rains hit the city earlier than the forecast dates between 8 June and 10 June. Rains began in Mumbai on 4 June 2018 with many parts of the city already being affected. A heavy downpour accompanied by strong winds and thundering across Mumbai left everyone in surprise.</p>
<p>Mumbai suburbs such as Bandra, Kandivali as well as the Western Expressway had puddles of water while places such as Tulsi Pipe Road was already flooded leaving Mumbaikars stranded.</p>
<p>According to India Meteorological Department (IMD)'s earlier weather report, the monsoon was likely to reach Maharashtra and Goa in the next two days, with a private weather forecasting agency predicting sustained heavy rains later this week.</p>
<p>Rain over the western coast, especially in Mumbai, is likely to peak between June 8 and 10, private agency Skymet said. However, the government said as monsoon is strengthening, increased rains were expected from June 7 in Kerala, coastal Karnataka, Konkan belt and Goa. It also warned of "possible flooding" from June 10 onwards in these areas.</p>
<p>Mumbaikars took to social media website Twitter asking the BMC about roads, updating Twitterati on current situations in different areas or simply posting something humourous during <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/mumbai-rains-all" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Mumbai rains</strong></span></a>.</p>
