Residents complained that low-lying areas like Gandhi Market, Dadar, Hindmata, Parel, Andheri subway and Sion were waterlogged, due to which traffic slowed down.
However, a spokesperson of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said there was no report of waterlogging.
The Western Railway and Central Railway said local trains were running normally. But some commuters claimed the Central Railway services were delayed by 10-15 minutes.
A spokesperson of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking said no bus route was diverted anywhere in the city and suburbs due to the rain.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted moderate to heavy rain in Mumbai, the official said.
Thee will be a high tide of 3.78 metres in the Arabian Sea at 10.03 am and another one of 3.23 metres at 9.35 pm, he said.
“Dadar station, Parel, Hindmata are currently waterlogged. Please travel safely. The route from east to west (Dadar, Prabhadevi , Lower Parel) bridges are jammed. People travelling from Borivali or Thane to Mumbai please take care,” X user @MotorMouth786 said in a post.
