The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Additional Commissioner Kishore Gajbhiye said that he has marked July 24 to July 26 in its calendar -- it has forecast the highest tides this monsoon on the two days. Globally recognised weather websites have ruled out very heavy showers in the city in the next four days, but MET department has forecast "sporadic thundershowers with heavy rainfall" in the next 48 hours.
The city witnesses heavy flooding when "heavy to very heavy rains" coincide with high tides.
According to the BMC, tidal waves on July 23 are the high tide will expected to be 5.01m high and on July 24, 5.05m high. On July 22, tides rose to 4.85m, and on July 25 they will be 4.94m high.
Mumbai will experience probably the biggest high tide. In July 2005, when the city had experienced floods, the high tide was of 4.85 m. The metropolis would experience one of the highest tides in the last 100 years.
Municipal commissioner Jairaj Phatak said the city will face a real test if it rains "very heavily" during high tides.
