In view of the forecast, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) appealed to residents to remain alert and step outdoors only if absolutely necessary.
Heavy rain continued to batter Mumbai and neighbouring regions through the night before easing slightly by Sunday morning. The weather agency has also predicted occasional gusty winds of 55-65 kmph over the city and suburbs.
Public transport services, including Metro and BEST buses, were operating normally on Sunday morning. However, commuters reported delays in suburban train services.
The BMC urged citizens to strictly follow official advisories. It also advised people to exercise caution in low-lying areas and along the coastline.
