Following heavy rains on Sunday, there was water-logging in many areas like Byculla, Sion, Dadar, Mazgaon, Kurla, Vikhroli and Andheri, severely impacting vehicular movement and causing long traffic jams.


Local train services, the city's lifeline, were also delayed as water accumulated on tracks at some locations, officials said.

In the 24-hour period ending at 8 am on Monday, the island city recorded an average 99.11 mm rainfall, eastern parts of Mumbai registered 61.29 mm downpour and western areas 73.78 mm, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said.

The weather department has forecast a generally cloudy sky possibility of thunderstorms accompanied by moderate to heavy rain in Mumbai and its suburbs on Monday (June 10).

The maximum temperature in the city is likely to settle at 29 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature will be recorded at 25 degrees Celsius.

A high tide of about 4.29 metres is expected to hit Mumbai at 3.01 pm today, stated Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The civic body also said that a low tide of about 1.84 metres is expected at 9.09 pm today.

The IMD on Sunday issued a warning of moderate to heavy rainfall in Mumbai and its neighbourhood areas in the next 48 hours.

According to Nowcast warning on Monday, "Moderate spells of rain are very likely to occur at isolated places in the districts of Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Raigad, Aurangabad, Ahmednagar, Beed, Osmanabad, Latur during next 3-4 hours."

Meanwhile, fishermen are advised not to venture along and off North and South Maharashtra from June 9 to June 13.

The IMD had reported that the southwest monsoon has advanced to parts of the central Arabian Sea, south Maharashtra, Telangana, south Chhattisgarh, south Odisha, and more areas of coastal Andhra Pradesh.
