The IMD has issued orange and red alerts for Mumbai and neighbouring districts, including Thane, Palghar, Raigad and Ratnagiri, warning of a heightened risk of flash floods and waterlogging.

Authorities have advised residents to remain cautious as low-lying areas could experience flooding, while heavy rainfall may affect normal traffic movement and essential services.

Travel Disruptions Likely Due to Severe Weather

According to the latest forecast, Mumbai is expected to experience heavy showers at isolated locations, along with thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds. The weather conditions may lead to waterlogged roads, traffic congestion and delays in local train and road transport services.

Residents have been urged to monitor official weather updates, avoid unnecessary travel during periods of intense rainfall and follow safety advisories issued by local authorities as the monsoon remains active across the state.
