00:00First, you have to understand that for 24 hours, the warning is a yellow alert.
00:07As you can see in the radar picture also, there was a spell that was intense for 24 hours, which we call it as a nowcast warning.
00:20So Mumbai is not on red alert, Mumbai is on a yellow alert.
00:23Only that warning was given for 2-3 hours where we were expecting an intense spell.
00:31That is why.
00:32So does anyone have anything to do with this?
00:38No, for 2-3 hours, as you can see in the radar picture also, this spell is subside.
00:44So Mumbai, see IMD, they issue a 24-hour alert, which is valid from today's 8 to tomorrow's 8.
00:54That is yellow alert for Mumbai, heavy rain with thunderstorms.
00:58And in 24 hours, we also give a 9-cast warning.
01:02So the 9-cast warning at 2 o'clock, there was an intense spell.
01:08This is why there was a red alert.
01:09In this case, there is no problem at 2-3 hours, Mumbai will have a strong, intense thunderstorm and a heavy spell of rain, which is actually, I think, already subsided.
01:23So let's go ahead.
