Monsoons in Mumbai can be unpredictable and this year is no exception. The city is currently experiencing heavy rainfall, with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) predicting very heavy downpours and the highest high tide of the season so far. There has also been significant waterlogging and disruptions to public transportation. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a 'yellow' alert for the city, warning of heavy rainfall over the next four to five days. On Sunday, the city received continuous downpours that paralyzed daily activities. Several areas of the city were severely affected, with reports of waterlogged roads and public transport delays.

The financial capital has received a significant amount of rainfall in the past 24 hours, with records showing 93 mm. This comes after three consecutive days of over 100 mm of rainfall each day. The IMD's 'yellow' alert indicates that heavy rainfall is expected to continue in some areas of the city for the next three days. Airlines have advised passengers to monitor flight statuses due to the weather conditions. While local train services are currently operating normally, there have been delays reported due to signalling issues.
