The rain gods finally smiled upon Mumbai even though – as is wont – it brought parts of the financial capital to a halt.
Mumbai’s suburban railway services were affected near Kalyan Station and trains were also affected on the Western Railway lines after rains halted trains at Bandra. The snafu lasted 20 minutes.
Flights were affected at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai due to heavy rainfalls.
Due to heavy rains affecting visibility, operations at Mumbai international airport are on hold. Runway 09 has been handed over to Air Traffic Control, operations expected to restart anytime. A United Air (Newark- Mumbai) has been diverted to New Delhi.
There were heavy rains in Mumbai and in suburbs, including areas like Borivali, Kandivali, Malad, Andheri, Vileparle and Bandra.
Mulund, Bhandup, Ghatkopar and Kurla in Eastern suburbs also got decent rainfall.
The pre-monsoon rains came as a huge relief to Mumbaikars struggling in the heat.

Meanwhile, two people were killed in an accident involving a concrete mixer truck, an autorickshaw and a bus in the early hours of Monday in Chembur after pre- monsoon rains made the road slippery, police said.
In the accident that took place in Amar Mahal area, the concrete mixer truck hit the autorickshaw which then smashed into a bus, a Tilaknagar police station official said.
"The driver and two passengers in the autorickshaw were injured. Two of them succumbed to injuries in Rajawadi Hospital nearby," he said.
He identified the deceased as passenger Sufiyan Ansari (25) and driver Subhash Bind (55).
Passenger Mona Mirza (55) is undergoing treatment, he added.
The driver of the concrete mixer truck fled the scene of accident and efforts were on to nab him, the official added.
