Monsoon seems to have gripped the city with heavy rains lashing parts of Mumbai since earlier this week. Akin to the climate on Thursday, the city on Friday witnessed heavy rainfall which led to delays in local train services and waterlogging on some roads slowing down the public transport services and causing inconvenience to lakhs of officegoers. The commuters complained that the trains were running late by 15-20 minutes. 

The latest Mumbai weather update from the India Meteorological Department has predicted heavy to very heavy rains in the city and suburbs for the next 24 hours. IMD also gave an orange alert for heavy rainfall in the city. The Met department gave an orange alert to Thane, Palghar and Raigad districts as well.
