Mumbai was left paralyzed after receiving nearly 200 mm rainfall in just six hours on August 19. Streets turned into rivers, traffic came to a crawl, and train services were suspended as floodwaters wreaked havoc across the city. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis reviewed the situation with the disaster management department, warning that the next 48 hours will be crucial for Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg, which remain on high alert.

Mumbai reels under relentless monsoon fury as the IMD issues a red alert for the second consecutive day. With over 500mm of rainfall in 84 hours, the city is waterlogged from Dadar to Andheri. Schools and colleges remain shut, trains delayed, and 32 university exams are postponed. With more rain on the way, Mumbai faces its worst monsoon alert of 2025.
