‘15 mins of rains causing mayhem': Viral videos from Mumbai show massive waterlogging on roads in Andheri
Mumbai rains: With heavy rains lashing Mumbai and adjoining cities on Tuesday evening, several social media users took to micro-blogging site X to share videos of heavily waterlogged streets in Andheri and Saki Naka.
Though rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning brought some relief from the rising temperatures, it slowed down road traffic at several places including the Western Express Highway.
Viral videos showed people wading through knee-deep water at Old Nagardas Road in Andheri.
One of the videos from a fruit market showed shopkeepers struggling to keep fruits safe from the flooded street.
"Little bit of Mumbai rains and we have water logging at Old Nagardas road, Andheri East," said an X user.
"#MumbaiRains 15 mins of rains causing mayhem at nagardas road #andheri east," said another user tagging BMC.
Meanwhile, social activist Zoru Bhathena also took a swipe at Brihanmumbai Municipal corporation (BMC) over waterlogging at Andheri Subway.
"Hello My BMC. May we suggest you'll install a sign at both ends of Andheri Subway "THIS IS A DRAIN USE DURING DRY WEATHER ONLY"...This sign will fix the problem...And save Mumbaikars a few hundred crores too," said Bhathena in a post on X.
A video shared by an X user named Sagar Shah showed accumulation of garbage after waterlogging at Saki Naka.
'This is Mumbai? Saki Naka as of now is an overflowing gutter! Please help. We deserve better!.'
'This is Mumbai's world famous Naka..Saki Naka,' said another user retweeting the video.
Slamming BMC over the situation, an X user named Tanmay Tamhane said that this was not even the proper monsoon rains and such pathetic situation was everywhere in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) for the next four days with light to moderate rainfall.
'Thunderstorm accompanied by lightning, light to moderate rainfall and gusty winds (40-50 kmph) are likely at isolated places,' said the weather department in its forecast for the maximum city.
Parts of Maharashtra may witness heavy rain with thunder and gusty winds between May 21 and 24 following a cyclonic circulation which is likely to form over the east-central Arabian Sea off the Karnataka coast, the Met department said.

Monsoon to arrive in Delhi on June 24
With the advancing southwest monsoon expected to hit Delhi on Tuesday, the city witnessed pleasant weather on Sunday, retaining a 'satisfactory' air quality for a fifth consecutive day. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also issued a yellow alert for Monday and Tuesday, predicting light to moderate rain. The maximum temperature in Delhi stood at 36.2 degrees Celsius (°C) on Sunday. (Sanchit Khanna/HT Photo) According to IMD, monsoon has advanced and covered most parts of Himachal Pradesh, entire Ladakh and Kashmir, most parts of Jammu and some parts of Punjab. The onset in the city is likely by Tuesday — three days ahead of the normal date of June 27. Notably, the monsoon arrived on June 28 last year, with over 228mm recorded in a single day. In 2023, it reached Delhi on June 25. 'Conditions are favourable for the southwest monsoon to advance over remaining parts of North Arabian Sea, some more parts of Rajasthan, Punjab, some parts of Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, remaining parts of west Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu during next two days,' the IMD said in a statement. Despite the overcast skies on Sunday, Delhi failed to see any rain till the evening. The maximum temperature stood at 36.2 degrees Celsius (°C), which was two degrees below normal and down from 37.3°C a day earlier. Relative humidity remained high throughout the day – oscillating between 65% and 83%. This kept the thermal discomfort high too. IMD data showed Delhi's heat index (HI) or 'real feel' temperature at 47.5°C at 5:30pm, primarily due to a relative humidity of 70% at the time. Heat index is a measure of how hot it actually feels to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature. Delhi's wet-bulb temperature, another indicator of thermal discomfort, stood at 29.51°C. A wet bulb reading above 32°C or high can significantly impair the human body's ability to cool itself, while 35°C is considered the theoretical limit for survival. Delhi's minimum temperature stood at 28.4°C on Sunday. The IMD has forecast a cooler day on Monday with the maximum likely hovering around 33-35°C and minimum at 26-28°C. Cleanest spell this year Meanwhile, isolated rain spells over the last few days have allowed pollutants in the Capital to settle. The air quality index (AQI) on Sunday — aided by overcast skies and consistent winds — stood at 92 (satisfactory) at 4pm. This was marginally higher than 85 (satisfactory) on Saturday. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) said Ozone (O3) was the lead pollutant on Sunday, as compared to both PM10 and O3 on Saturday. This is the cleanest spell Delhi is enjoying so far this year. Delhi has only recorded seven satisfactory air days so far this year, five of which have occurred during this spell. The CPCB classifies AQI between 0 and 50 as 'good', between 51 and 100 as 'satisfactory', between 101 and 200 as 'moderate', between 201 and 300 as 'poor', between 301 and 400 as 'very poor', and over 400 as 'severe'. Last year, Delhi recorded 27 consecutive 'satisfactory' air days between June 28 and August 23, making it the longest streak of satisfactory days in the city since 2020, when a record streak of 51 'satisfactory' days was seen between July 16 and September 4. Punjabi Bagh emerged as the cleanest hot spot in the city on Sunday, logging an AQI of 62 — the lowest among all major locations. Meanwhile, Delhi environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa lauded the efforts of the Delhi government to fight air pollution. 'This progress is the result of continuous, on-ground action and strict enforcement. In the last 48 hours alone, 218 end-of-life vehicles were impounded and 11,157 pollution challans issued across the city. These are part of Delhi's zero-tolerance approach to air polluters,' Sirsa said.

The Gurgaon observatory didn't record the day's minimum temperature but the maximum temperature was recorded at 35.3°C and nearby Ayanagar registered 28.4°C minimum temperature with 73% relative humidity. The city has already received 42.4mm rainfall between June 1 and 22, marking a 77% increase over the normal average. This is just short of the monthly normal of 47.1mm.

June 2022 was comparatively drier, with 37.8mm recorded. As residents eagerly await the arrival of the monsoon, IMD suggests that its onset over Gurgaon and adjoining areas is expected over the next two days. The southwest monsoon has further advanced into most parts of Himachal Pradesh, the entire regions of Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir, most parts of Jammu, and some parts of Punjab. The IMD has issued a yellow alert for the next five days, predicting light to moderate rainfall in Gurgaon, with the possibility of isolated heavy showers accompanied by thunder and gusty winds. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo Meteorologists attribute the favourable conditions to the presence of a low-pressure area over southeast Uttar Pradesh and its neighbourhood, along with a trough extending from north Punjab to north Bihar across south Haryana. Additionally, a cyclonic circulation associated with the low-pressure system is observed over central parts of south Uttar Pradesh in the lower tropospheric levels. Meanwhile, the monsoon is likely to reach Delhi within the next two days, with India Meteorological Department forecasting light to moderate rain and improved weather conditions. The department has issued a yellow alert for the national capital and surrounding areas till Tuesday, warning of rain accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds of up to 50 kmph. According to IMD, heavy rain is expected over large parts of north and northwest India over the next three days as the southwest monsoon advances further into the region, supported by favourable moisture conditions. The monsoon is likely to arrive in Delhi by June 24. IMD has predicted a normal monsoon. Despite the forecast of rain from Sunday onward, no significant weather activity was recorded in the capital till late evening. However, the city's air quality continued to improve. Sunday marked the fifth consecutive day of satisfactory air quality, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) standing at 92 (on a 0–500 scale) at 4 pm. The improvement was aided by sporadic rain and surface winds, which helped disperse pollutants.
