Last Updated:
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for Mumbai and its suburbs.
Mumbai was soaked overnight as heavy rains lashed the city from late Sunday into the early hours of Monday, June 16. The downpour began around midnight on June 15, leading to widespread waterlogging, traffic disruptions, and flight delays by morning.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for Mumbai and its suburbs. Authorities have advised residents to avoid low-lying and coastal areas and to remain cautious while travelling. Several parts of the city are already grappling with flooding, making Monday morning commutes especially challenging.
But as always, when it rains in Mumbai, it pours online too. Social media platforms have been flooded with videos and photos as Mumbaikars shared their monsoon experiences in real-time.
A user commented, 'Mumbai ko baarish chahiye, but only night shift mein. Morning mein local ka timing mat bigaado yaar (Mumbai needs rain but only during the night shift. Don't mess up the local train timings in the morning, please)."
