What if the rainfall continues for 365 days?

Ever wondered that what if the rainfall continues for straight 365 days?. Well, to be honest, it might sound silly. But just for the sake of curiosity, we’ll try to find out in today’s article.

Let’s say for an example Rain in Gujarat or to be more specific rain in Surat was continuously falling for straight 4 days with just some little brakes and that’s all. That almost resulted in the flood. Why so? even Surat is the city where all the gutter lines are connected with sea and rivers, that water should have vanished, isn’t it? but wait, here we are talking about heavy rainfall. Heavy rainfall can create some real disasters. So, first of all, let’s see what a heavy rainfall can result in?

Effects of heavy rainfall.

You might have heard about the incident that took place in Kerala, On 16 August 2018, severe floods affected the south Indian state of Kerala, due to unusually high rainfall during the monsoon season. It was the worst flood in Kerala in nearly a century. Over 483 people died, and 140 are missing. About a million people were evacuated, mainly from Chengannur, Pandanad, Edanad, Aranmula, Kozhencherry, Ayiroor, Ranni, Pandalam, Kuttanad, Malappuram, Aluva, Chalakudy, Thrissur, Thiruvalla, Eraviperoor, Vallamkulam, North Paravur, Vypin Island and PalakkadChellanam. All 14 districts of the state were placed on red alert. According to the Kerala government, one-sixth of the total population of Kerala had been directly affected by the floods and related incidents. The Indian government had declared it a Level 3 Calamity, or “calamity of a severe nature”. It is the worst flood in Kerala after the great flood of 99 that took place in 1924.

Thirty-five out of the fifty-four dams within the state were opened, for the first time in history. All five overflow gates of the Idukki Dam were opened at the same time, and for the first time in 26 years, 5 gates of the Malampuzha dam of Palakkad were opened. Heavy rains in Wayanad and Idukki have caused severe landslides and have left the hilly districts isolated. The situation was regularly monitored by the National Crisis Management Committee, which also coordinated the rescue and relief operations.

Just think about it, If a heavy rainfall can cause such a severe incident then what will happen if rainfall continues 365 days?

So, before starting let’s just first decide a good city for such natural calamity, In my opinion, I can only think about Mumbai, just because for your reference as Mumbai is one of the most popular city almost every person know no matter if you are from other countries, at some point you might have heard about it or you might know about this place right? ok then let’s begin.

Day 1 (assume it’s 1st of July 2XXX)

The rain has just started, after a crapload of summer everyone is feeling relief. You can feel the happiness surrounding everywhere. From the neighbors next door to the whole locality ultimately the whole city. Everybody is discussing rain, it’s benefits and beauty and whatnot. People in the offices now started feeling a little lazy trying to skip some work, every now and then tries looking outside is rain falling or not. And everything is just looking perfect at that moment.
