The Greater Mumbai Municipal Corporation said that the city was likely to receive heavier rainfall in the upcoming days.
The city of Mumbai has received moderate to heavy rainfall today in different parts of the city, in what comes as welcome news for the citizens who took to social media to post updates about the weather.
The Greater Mumbai Municipal Corporation said that the city was likely to receive heavier rainfall in the upcoming days, but posted a tweet with the rain statistics. "Hello, Mumbai! The island city and suburbs have received 33 mm and 95 mm rainfall respectively. While we're on our toes, it may take some time to pump out all water from waterlogged areas owing to neap tide. Hopefully, all should be well by late evening," the tweet said.
However, work life in the financial capital took a hit as traffic crawled to a slow pace on the roads, with heavy traffic jams reported along the Western Express Highway from Kherwadi, Bandra to Vileparle northbound.
According to reports, the area adjoining Dadar Fire Station received 22 mm of rainfall, while the areas adjoining Wadala and Worli fire stations reported 20 mm and 17 mm of rainfall, respectively.
Waterlogging was reported near the airport, Andheri, Kurla road, and in Juhu, which came with its share of woes as citizens were not able to avail their needs in time.
A humongous queue was spotted at the Dombivli station in Mumbai, for the local trains.
Local trains on the Central Railway line are said to be running at around 30 minutes late, while Western Railways took to Twitter to inform that there are no disruptions in their services.
