Mumbai 2009 High Tide Dates

Floods in Mumbai are attributable to simultaneous occurrence if rainfall and high tides. If the rainfall is in excess of 200 mm in a day (24 hrs), floods can happen anytime irrespective of the tides. However, if there is moderate rainfall, but the tide is in excess of 4.50 meters at the same time, the city of Mumbai is sure to get flooded.

Accordingly, heavy floods are anticipated on the following days in Mumbai, if there is excess rainfall at the time of high tides, since the tides are extremely high these days

There are speculations about very high waves on July 22, 2009 due to Solar eclipse.
