Mumbai Rains: City Drenched as Monsoon Hits Early, Waterlogging Grips Key Areas
Mumbai experienced a dramatic onset of the monsoon as heavy rains swept across the city, catching residents off guard and leading to widespread waterlogging. The relentless downpour began late last night and intensified during the early morning hours, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue red and orange alerts for multiple regions.
As the city woke to torrential showers, several key areas, including Sion, Dadar, and Kurla, were inundated with knee-deep water. This resulted in significant delays in both road and rail traffic, hampering the morning commute for countless Mumbaikars. Suburban train services faced disruptions, while BEST buses were rerouted from several low-lying neighborhoods prone to flooding.
Visuals from across Mumbai painted a stark picture of flooded streets and traffic snarls, with pedestrians wading through murky waters. The rain has not only affected vehicular movement but has also disrupted daily routines, leaving many commuters stranded and frustrated.
As the situation develops, authorities and residents remain on alert, closely monitoring weather updates and safety advisories. The early arrival of the monsoon highlights the challenges that Mumbaikars face during this season, a time when the city must grapple with the duality of much-needed rainfall and the ensuing chaos it often brings.
