IN · Published Sep 13, 2026
Mumbai experienced heavy rainfall on Sunday, marking the end of a prolonged dry spell since July.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings for intense showers, thunderstorms, and gusty winds reaching speeds of up to 50 kmph.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall has caused waterlogging in several low-lying areas of Mumbai, disrupting daily life and increasing the risk of flooding. Gusty winds of up to 50 kmph may pose additional hazards, such as falling trees and damage to weak structures. Coastal areas are particularly vulnerable due to high tide levels, with a peak of 4.46 metres expected at 1:05 pm on Sunday and another at 4.43 metres at 1:38 am on Monday. Residents in these areas should remain cautious of potential flooding and water ingress.
