In the western and eastern suburbs, Andheri Subway, Bandra, Powai, Sakkar Panchayat Wadala, SIES College Wadala, Kings Circle, Sion and other low lying areas were also flooded. This had some effect on road traffic. However, the municipality drained the rain water from the low lying areas.

After a month-long delay, the rains have arrived in Maharashtra, which will lead to a reversal of Mumbai's water cut if the reservoirs are flooded. Also, according to the meteorological department, the monsoon will be active in all parts of the state in the next four to five days. This has been a great relief to the farmers across the state. Due to rains, farmers can start sowing.
