Monday's weather forecast has some bad news for voters, as the state prepares to go to polls today. If Mumbai and Thane receive light to moderate rainfall, as predicted by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), then voters as well as all those involved in conducting the elections would be an inconvenienced lot.

While most of the polling stations at the 36 constituencies in Mumbai are either in schools or colleges, there are many on open grounds as well. Even though pandals have been erected and arrangements have been made for polling day, the wet grounds might play spoilsport if it continues to rain.
