Heavy rain hit the city, causing significant waterlogging in several areas early Friday morning. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Santacruz recorded 115.8 mm of rainfall, while Colaba registered 86 mm by 8.30 am. Earlier in the week on Monday morning, some parts of the city experienced up to 300 mm of rainfall. This disrupted traffic, including local services, and led to the closure of schools and colleges for two days.
As residents woke up, on Friday morning many roads and low-lying areas were already inundated due to the heavy downpour. Subways, including those in Andheri and Malad, were flooded. However, the rain began to subside by 8 am, and since train services were not halted, city life continued relatively smoothly.
