Mumbaikars woke up to a rain-soaked Monday (September 15, 2025) morning, with traffic slowing down during the office rush hour due to water-logging in low-lying areas across the city and suburbs.
After heavy showers overnight and in the morning, water accumulated on tracks at Kurla station on the Central Railway route and Bandra on the Western Railway network. The local trains were running with some delays, as per officials.
The heavy downpour, which began around midnight with lightning and thunder, continued in the morning, leading to inundation of low-lying areas like King's Circle and other areas, as per civic officials.
The water-filled potholes further worsened the road traffic conditions.
IMD warned moderate to intense spells of rain and thunderstorm accompanied with lightning with gusty winds reaching 40-50 kmph in Mumbai, Thane and Raigad.
