The city was drenched with 350 millimetres of rain in just three hours, setting a new 44-year rainfall record. According to the Met Office, strong monsoon currents from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal are expected to bring torrential rains across the country from August 1 to 6, with occasional breaks.
