According to the civic body, heavy to very heavy rain is likely over Mumbai city and its suburbs during the day. Strong winds with speeds of 50-60 kmph are also expected, increasing the possibility of waterlogging, disruption to transport services, and falling tree branches in vulnerable areas.
The BMC has urged citizens to stay updated with official weather advisories, avoid venturing into low-lying or waterlogged areas unless necessary, and exercise caution while travelling during periods of intense rainfall.
