Red Alert Issued For City

Earlier in the day, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, cautioning of “intense to very intense spells of rain accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching 30–40 kmph” for the next three hours. Authorities advised residents to remain vigilant, as high tide during heavy rain can aggravate flooding in low-lying areas.

Traffic movement was severely hit, particularly at the Andheri Subway, where one to one-and-a-half feet of water forced authorities to close the route. The Mumbai Traffic Police diverted vehicles through the Gokhale Bridge as an alternative. Congestion was also reported on the Eastern Express Highway, especially near Sion and Kings Circle, causing long delays for morning office-goers.

Local Train Services Affected

The city’s suburban railways, often called its lifeline, also experienced disruptions. The Central and Harbour lines reported delays of 10–15 minutes, with the Harbour line especially affected by cancellations in the early hours. The Western line fared relatively better, with only minor delays of up to five minutes.

Neither Central nor Western Railway issued an official statement on the extent of disruption, leaving commuters to rely on local announcements and online updates. With another high tide expected in the evening, civic authorities remain on alert for worsening waterlogging.
