Mumbai rain has attained a legendary status in pop culture. Despite the infrastructural woes, people look forward to the rainy season from June to September. A time-lapse video that captures a short but intense spell of rain in the Indian financial capital is going viral.
The video shows how a normal day in Mumbai gives way first to a drizzle and then to heavy rains. Soon the rain stops and the sky clears up with sunlight pouring through. These dramatic changes in weather appear to be recorded from a skyscraper as one can see the city landscape in the background.
The video, which has so far gathered over 10,000 likes, was posted on Twitter by Ananth Rupanagudi (@Ananth_IRAS) on Thursday. “This 34-second video is about what happened in Mumbai around 4.30 pm in just 15-20 mins yesterday! #Mumbai #MumbaiRains,” Rupanagudi, a railway official, wrote.
