Heavy rains lash Mumbai, waterlogging disrupts traffic as IMD issues Yellow Alert
Heavy monsoon showers drenched Mumbai on Monday, leading to waterlogging in several low-lying areas and causing traffic disruptions across the city. Roads in parts of the western and central suburbs witnessed slow-moving traffic as rainwater accumulated, while commuters faced delays during the morning rush hour.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Mumbai, warning of moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms in isolated areas.
Civic authorities and traffic police remained on alert as teams worked to clear waterlogged stretches and ensure smooth movement of vehicles. Residents have been advised to avoid unnecessary travel in flood-prone areas and stay updated on weather advisories. While no major incidents have been reported, continuous rainfall has affected normal life in several parts of the city.
According to the IMD, wet weather is expected to continue over the next few days, with intermittent spells of moderate to heavy rain likely across Mumbai and neighbouring districts. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have urged people to exercise caution, especially in low-lying areas and during periods of intense rainfall.
