Mumbai faced severe disruption as heavy rains pounded the city, resulting in over 300 mm of rainfall in just six hours. The deluge led to extensive waterlogging in low-lying areas and key roads, halting traffic and prompting the closure of schools and colleges for half a day. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport saw 50 flight cancellations and diverted 27 others due to low visibility and runway operations suspension. The BMC issued an orange alert for more heavy rain, urging residents to stay indoors. Train services were also affected temporarily, adding to the city's commuting woes.
