High Tide Alert for Mumbai Starting June 24
High Tide Warning Issued for Mumbai Starting June 24
Mumbai is set to experience a significant increase in tidal activity, with a high tide alert officially announced starting June 24. Residents and authorities are urged to remain vigilant as the city prepares for elevated water levels that may impact coastal areas.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has advised caution, especially in low-lying regions, as the high tides could coincide with the monsoon rains, leading to potential flooding and disruption. The predicted tidal heights are expected to reach approximately 4.5 meters, which is considerably higher than the average levels.
Officials recommend that fishermen and maritime operators exercise extreme caution and avoid venturing into the sea during this period. Additionally, the public is advised to stay away from the coastline and monitor local news updates for any emergency procedures or advisories.
In light of these warnings, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has ramped up preparedness measures, including deploying rescue teams and ensuring that drainage systems are clear to minimize flooding risk. Residents are encouraged to take preventive measures, such as securing property and being prepared for possible evacuation if necessary.
As the situation develops, the community is urged to stay informed through official channels and adhere to safety recommendations to ensure their well-being during this high tide event.
