Mumbai and its surrounding areas have received very heavy rainfall overnight, and this has led to waterlogging in some parts of the megapolis on Monday morning. By some estimates, the city received almost 200 mm of rain. However, forecasters say Monday could see the city get more, heavier rain.
The roads are jammed, trains are struggling to keep time, and the arrivals or departures of at least 35 flights have been delayed.
Two people were killed and five injured after a tree fell on them near Metro Cinema on Sunday night.

Lit of delayed flights grows to 68.
35 departures now delayed.
33 arrivals delayed.
And, these are only for flight scheduled to arrive or depart till noon.
Not a bad idea, considering the way things are going. If you can do it for traffic, you can do it for waterlogging:
You gotta seriously consider integrating a layer called “water logging” for rains in Indian cities! Thus organize the information and make it accessible to the masses #MumbaiRains @sundarpichai @Google @GoogleIndia
