Due to overnight rainfall, waterlogging was reported in some parts of the city. In the morning around 8.30 am Andheri subway had to be shut down. It was opened again a few hours after the water had receded. 

While Central and Western Railway services were running a bit late, several BEST bus routes were diverted temporarily due to waterlogging in various parts of the city and suburbs. Though railway authorities claimed that suburban trains were running as per normal, commuters complained that there was a delay of around 15 minutes. Rail commuters also complained of missing roofs at many stations on both CR and WR. Commuters in south Mumbai complained of waterlogging at CSMT with the entire footpath and walkway flooded. Road traffic along both the highways was also slowed down.
