Mumbai Rains: Heavy Showers Lash City, Andheri Subway Closed For Traffic After Waterlogging Reported In Suburbs; Downpour To Intensify This Week, Says IMD

Mumbai: Heavy rainfall drenched parts of Mumbai on Monday, July 21, with South Mumbai and Western suburbs witnessing heavy downpours. Areas like Marine Drive and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus were soaked due to overnight rainfall, as visuals showed partially waterlogged roads and people taking refuge under shelters.
Visuals from Andheri and Kurla show waterlogging in several parts and the railway station. Andheri subway was reported closed for traffic after incessant rainfall. LBS Road in Kurla, DP Road in Powai and Saki Naka also reported traffic snarls due to waterlogging.
Heavy Rains Alert Issued For The City
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that the rain was likely to persist for at least a few hours, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching speeds of 30-40 km/h. A yellow alert was initially issued for the city, signalling the likelihood of moderate to heavy rainfall. However, the weather department issued a nowcast warning upgrading it to orange alert for next few hours.
The weather department stated that temperatures would hover between 25°C and 31°C, with partly cloudy skies expected. Commuters were advised to carry umbrellas and remain cautious while heading out, especially as water accumulation and slippery roads could pose hazards during peak traffic hours.
Disruption Reported Due To Heavy Rains
Commuters reported major disruption while using the city’s public transportation today in the morning. Local trains on the harbour line were running 20-25 minutes late, as reported by commuters. Traffic disruption was reported in western and central suburbs due to waterlogging in several parts.
IndiGo Airline Issues Statement
IndiGo Airlines issued a statement alerting its passengers of the adverse weather conditions in the city. “Heavy rain showers have settled in over Mumbai, and the roads are feeling the impact. Several routes towards the airport are seeing slow-moving traffic due to steady downpour. If you are flying today, please plan ahead, leave a little earlier, and check your flight status on our app or website before stepping out,” the statement read.
“We understand these conditions can affect your journey. Our teams are ready to support you on the ground and are working to keep operations running as steadily as possible. Thank you for your understanding,” it further read.
IMD Warns Of Heavy Rains This Week
The downpour comes as part of the ongoing monsoon activity, which is expected to continue intensifying over the week. As the city moves deeper into the monsoon season, the IMD forecast indicates the likelihood of more rain throughout the week. On Tuesday, moderate rainfall and overcast skies are expected, along with occasional thunderstorms. The overall temperature will remain mild, although humidity levels may remain steady.
By Wednesday, rainfall activity is projected to increase, with a fresh yellow alert issued for the day. Heavier showers and widespread cloud cover are expected to dominate the city’s weather. The pattern is likely to persist into Thursday, with several parts of Mumbai potentially experiencing intense rainfall and continuous overcast conditions.
No Severe Weather Alert For Weekend
On Friday, the rainfall may ease slightly, though light to moderate rain remains in the forecast. Temperatures are expected to stay relatively stable, with a marginal decrease in humidity levels. Saturday may continue with similar weather conditions, as rain is likely to persist under predominantly cloudy skies. However, no severe weather alert has been issued for the weekend as of now.

Demand to cancel Bhiwandi Road footpath expansion project will only benefit builder lobby: Azmi alleges

Mumbai Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has demanded from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to stop the demolition of religious places, houses and projects in the name of road and footpath expansion in Bhiwandi and protect religious places, temples, mosques and houses. Earlier, the government and MMRDA had spent an additional Rs 1700 crore on projects to protect the victims of the metro project. Abu Asim Azmi demanded from Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde that in the new development project of Bhiwandi Nizampur Municipal Corporation, a proposal has been made to widen the road by 6-6 meters from Rajiv Gandhi Chowk to Tim Ghar Marg, which is expected to make thousands of people homeless and unemployed, and temples and mosques will also be affected by this project, so this project should be canceled immediately. Azmi alleged that this project is causing a lot of hardship to the people and also endangering the existence of many religious places, so this project and plan should be stopped and a new plan should be prepared. Azmi said that this project and the expansion of roads and footpaths will only benefit the builder lobby, so the government should consider it so that the citizens of Bhiwandi get justice.
