not be any for at least some time. The India Meteorological
Department (IMD) has forecast that heavy to very heavy rainfall is
very likely at a few places, and extremely heavy rainfall at isolated
places, in the districts of Greater Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, and
Palghar from July 10 to July 13, news agency ANI reported on Tuesday.
At

Generally cloudy sky with heavy rain on July 10, generally cloudy sky
with heavy rain on July 11, generally cloudy sky with moderate rain
on July 12, and generally cloudy sky with moderate rain on July 13.
Train
services were disrupted on Tuesday as incessant rains continued to
lash Mumbai and adjoining areas.
"Due
to heavy rains, up and down through line at Nala Sopara is halted.
However, local trains on western suburbs are running late by 10 to 15
minutes between Virar to Churchgate," the Western Railways'
Divisional Railway Manager told news agency ANI on Tuesday morning.
Further,
Mumbai's
Dabbawalas on Tuesday suspended their services due to the rains,
reported ANI.
Streets
at Gandhi Market, Sion Panvel Highway, Chembur, and Vadala were
waterlogged as rain continued to lash the region.
The
downpour also led to houses being water-logged in Palghar, causing
people inconvenience.
The
onset of monsoon has disrupted routine life in pockets of
Maharashtra.
As
heavy rainfall lashed the city, the Maharashtra education minister on
Monday declared a holiday for all schools and colleges in the Mumbai
Metropolitan Region.
