Mumbai rains highlights: Maximum city slows down, heavy showers bring trains and road traffic to a halt

Mumbai rains LIVE: Mumbai and its suburbs witnessed intermittent spells of heavy showers between Sunday night and Monday morning leading to water logging in several areas and affecting traffic on all major roads.

Heavy rains during the night and on Monday morning in Mumbai and its outskirts inundated low-lying areas, delayed trains and slowed down vehicular movement on roads.

Several local train services, considered the lifeline of Mumbai, were cancelled or short-terminated as a temporary bamboo structure erected for civil work fell on an overhead wire near the Marine Lines station on the Western line, an official said.

Two days of downpour helped the city surpass its average rainfall for June. Between 8.30am on Friday and 8.30am on Sunday, Mumbai recorded 327.5mm rain, compared to 182mm received in the first 27 days of June.
