Mumbai Weather: The Indian Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rain in Mumbai and its suburbs in the next 24 hours. According to mid-day, the Regional Meteorological Department said in its forecast that the maximum and minimum temperatures would be around 29°C and 25°C, respectively.

Meanwhile, heavy showers since early morning in the city have hit railway and bus services on Friday. In some low-lying areas, the incessant rain with intermittent heavy spells has led to waterlogging. Several railway tracks are also facing waterlogging.

According to PTI, the suburban trains were on Friday morning running at least 15 to 20 minutes late. A railway official also said that water has accumulated on tracks and Chunabhatti on the harbor line due to heavy showers coupled with high tide.

High tides and heavy rains can potentially cause flooding in low-lying areas as water doesn't flow into the sea during that time.
