Heavy Rainfall to Intensify Across Maharashtra

According to the IMD, widespread rainfall will continue across Maharashtra, with weather conditions expected to become more severe in several districts. Mumbai is likely to witness extremely heavy rainfall, with some areas potentially recording up to 200 mm of rain within 24 hours.

Authorities have urged residents to avoid unnecessary travel, stay away from low-lying areas, beaches, rivers and overflowing drains, and remain alert as heavy rain could lead to waterlogging and local flooding. The rainfall is also expected to improve water levels in Mumbai's reservoirs, providing relief from recent concerns over water supply.

Mumbai Records Third Consecutive Day of Heavy Showers

Mumbai woke up to another spell of heavy rain, marking the third straight day of continuous showers across the city and suburbs. Cloudy skies and persistent rainfall have brought cooler temperatures, but have also increased the risk of waterlogging.

Heavy rain has been reported in several western suburbs, including Andheri, Jogeshwari, Goregaon, Malad, Kandivali, Borivali, Dahisar, Vile Parle, Santacruz and Bandra. Water has already begun accumulating in a few low-lying areas, raising concerns about disruptions during office hours if rainfall continues at the current intensity.
