What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The India Meteorological Department issued forecasts indicating that the Southwest Monsoon was expected to cover the entire country within two to three days, with warnings of extremely heavy rainfall in parts of Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. Concurrently, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation was managing operational issues in Mumbai, including the overflowing of Vihar Lake and rising water levels in other reservoirs. Due to sustained heavy rainfall, local trains were running 25 to 30 minutes late due to waterlogging between Vasai, Nalasopara, and Virar.
