Mumbai won't suddenly go underwater like in a disaster movie, but parts of the city are slowly getting more and more flooded because of rising sea levels and climate change.

🌊 What Scientists Know For Sure

• Ocean levels are rising about 3-4 mm every year (and getting faster)
• By 2050: Water could be 20-30 cm higher than today
• By 2100: Could rise by 0.6 to 1 meter (around 2-3 feet) if we don't cut pollution

🏙️ Why Mumbai Has It Worse Than Other Cities

• Many areas are barely above sea level (built on filled-in land)
• The ground itself is sinking in some spots
• Crazy heavy monsoon rains + high tides = disaster combo
• Old drainage system can't handle today's rainfall anymore

📅 What Will Probably Happen (Real Talk)

• Right Now (2020s): Streets flood every monsoon season
• 2035-2050: Coastal areas will flood regularly (think BKC, Colaba, parts of Andheri and Navi Mumbai)
• 2070-2100: Some neighborhoods might become impossible to live in without giant sea walls and constant water pumping

❗ The Real Story

Mumbai won't be like Atlantis by 2100, but imagine certain areas flooding multiple times a year instead of once. You could still visit, but living there? That's a different story—unless the city builds serious protection.

💡 Bottom Line

This isn't a sudden catastrophe—it's more like a slow-motion crisis. Mumbai's future depends less on when the ice melts and more on whether we act fast enough to protect the city.
