The heavy rainfall, which began in the late evening of June 23, led to widespread waterlogging, with roads turning into rivers and traffic grinding to a halt. The Andheri area was particularly affected, as the underpass (subway) in the neighborhood became completely flooded. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) closed the underpass for safety reasons, citing the risk of accidents due to the rising water levels. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a heavy rainfall alert for Mumbai, warning of continued moderate to heavy showers throughout June 24. The monsoon, which arrived in Mumbai on June 23, was 13 days later than its usual arrival date of June 10. This delay has raised concerns about the city’s preparedness for the annual monsoon season, as waterlogging and traffic disruptions have already begun. Rainfall measurements recorded during the storm showed that areas like Nair Hospital in central Mumbai received 78.96 millimeters of rain between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. on June 23. The IMD also issued orange alerts for several districts in Maharashtra, including Thane, Raigad, Palghar, and Sindhudurg, warning of potential heavy rainfall and its impact on infrastructure.#mumbai #bmc #andheri #imd #nair_hospital https://www.aajtak.in/india/maharashtra/story/monsoon-hits-mumbai-heavy-rain-waterlogged-andheri-area-imd-rainfall-alert-maharashtra-weather-forecast-mumbai-mausam-szlbs-rpti-2585930-2026-06-24
