After heavy rainfall lashed parts of Mumbai and Thane on Monday, the India Meteorological Department's (IMD) Mumbai centre changed the 'orange' alert to 'yellow' alert for the city and its neighbouring district on Tuesday evening.


In its weather forecast for the day in the evening, the IMD Mumbai predicted heavy to very heavy rainfall at a few places in Mumbai and Thane for the next 24 hours.


"Heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places on July 17 and 18," the IMD release with a yellow alert stated.

Due to waterlogging, the Andheri subway was closed for a few hours.
