On Friday morning, the Mumbaikars woke up to overcast skies and occasional drizzles--a stark contrast to the weather conditions prevalent until Thursday. On Thursday, heavy rains lashed Mumbai and its suburbs causing waterlogging in some areas leading to traffic snarls and diversion in BEST bus services and also delaying local trains across all corridors of Western and Central Railway. 

The India Meteorological Department, in its Mumbai weather update, forecasted that the city and suburbs will receive heavy to very heavy rainfall on Friday and that there's a possibility of extremely heavy rainfall in isolated pockets.
