Mumbai has been experiencing heavy rains since Monday morning, and waterlogged roads in many places have made travel difficult. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) issued a tidal warning on Monday and requested people to stay away from the sea.

IMD has predicted more rain in the next few hours, which could make the situation worse. People have been advised to remain alert and stay in a safe place. The Met department is constantly monitoring the situation and issuing updates from time to time. The IMD has appealed to the public to contact the Meteorological Department and BMC's social media channels and helpline 1916 for "latest information."
