Since Friday morning, Mumbai has been experiencing continuous rain with periodic heavy storms, disrupting public transport and causing traffic congestion. The downpour has caused major waterlogging in various parts of the city, especially low-lying areas like Sion, requiring authorities to detour traffic. Between 7 am and 8 am, certain sections of Mumbai received more than 15 mm of rain. Waterlogging also occurred on the Andheri underground, which connects the Andheri and Jogeshwari train stations, impeding commuter flow in the Western suburbs.

Due to waterlogging in Sion, the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) has redirected three bus lines since 7.50 am. While Western Railway and Central Railway, which operate Mumbai`s local trains, said on X (previously Twitter) that its suburban services were "running," commuters reported some delays, despite the fact that there was no water on the tracks.
