Overview

• The India Meteorological Department issued red alerts for Mumbai, Thane and Raigad through Tuesday, with orange alerts across several districts and advisories for fishermen as high waves and strong winds are expected.
• Short, intense bursts of rain flooded roads and underpasses, delayed suburban trains, forced several flight go-arounds with one diversion, and led authorities to close schools and colleges on Tuesday.
• State officials said seven people have died in rain-linked incidents over two days, five are missing in Nanded, and more than 200 villagers were rescued in Mukhed by the Army, NDRF and SDRF.
• Mumbai recorded about 177 mm of rain in six to eight hours on Monday, with several neighborhoods topping 100 mm, as civic authorities urged early office closures and asked residents to avoid non‑essential travel.
• Reservoirs supplying Mumbai rose to roughly 91% of capacity, with Tulsi and Vihar lakes overflowing, easing near-term water supply concerns but increasing the need for careful dam discharge management.
