Districts: Mumbai, Palghar," said BMC in a post on X.The southwest monsoon finally hit Mumbai on Tuesday, 13 days after its normal onset date, bringing much- needed relief from the sweltering heat.Heavy rainfall continued to lash several parts of Mumbai on Tuesday night, causing severe waterlogging in low-lying areas and forcing the temporary closure of an underpass in Andheri, civic officials said.According to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the Andheri subway was shut for vehicular movement after it was inundated due to incessant rain-induced flooding.As per BMC rainfall data recorded between 8:00 am and 11:00 pm on June 23, the city received an average of 56 mm of rainfall, while the eastern suburbs recorded 23 mm and the western suburbs 33 mm.During the one-hour period between 10:00 pm and 11:00 pm, several locations in the western suburbs recorded heavy showers, including Charkop Sector 1 Municipal School in Kandivali (32 mm), MHB Municipal School in Malad (28 mm), Gajdharbandh Storm Water Pumping Station (26 mm), Banana Leaf and Juhu Dispensary (22 mm), and Nariyalwadi School in Santacruz (21 mm).The BMC confirmed that all subways except the flooded Andheri underpass remained operational, while suburban railway services continued to run normally.Speaking on the situation, a BMC official, Rhitik, said that civic authorities were still struggling to find a temporary solution to the persistent waterlogging at the site."We have not been able to find a temporary solution for this severe waterlogging.
