Heavy Rains Trigger Waterlogging Across Mumbai, Andheri

Mumbaikars woke up to heavy overnight rains on Wednesday, which disrupted suburban train services, inundated low-lying areas and caused hardship to commuters. 

Parts of the metropolis received more than 200 mm of rainfall in the 24 hours ending at 8 am, officials said. 

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast moderate to heavy showers accompanied by thunder



and lightning in Mumbai and its suburbs over the next 24 hours.

The southwest monsoon finally hit Mumbai on Tuesday. The normal onset date of the monsoon in Mumbai is June 10. Notably, in 2023, the monsoon arrived even later, on June 25, according to IMD data. 

The longest delay was in 1974 and 1958 when the onset of monsoon was recorded on June 28, according to IMD.
