Fallen trees, flooded roads, and a queue of vehicles – that is how Mumbai looks today after a night of heavy rain. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for the city, along with Thane, Palghar and Raigad, warning of intense spells of rain at isolated places and gusty winds.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) too has warned people of heavy to very heavy rainfall in the city and suburbs along with gusty winds. 

Incessant rains triggered a kilometer-and-a-half-long traffic jam on Kurla’s SCLR flyover.
