The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for Mumbai, Thane, and Raigad due to extremely heavy rainfall. For three consecutive days, a relentless downpour has caused widespread waterlogging and severe traffic disruption, leading to the closure of schools and government offices. High tides are expected to worsen conditions on the ground. IndiGo Airlines has issued a travel advisory; warning of flight delays due to the ground-level issues at the airport. The IMD forecasts “very heavy to extremely heavy” rainfall to continue, posing a critical challenge for authorities and relief operations. Businesses are advised to remain vigilant and cater for travel delays until the rainfall recedes.
