Mumbai Rains: Heavy Showers Lash Churchgate, More Rains Expected Tonight

Mumbai: On the evening of July 22, several areas of Mumbai witnessed changing weather conditions, with Churchgate and adjoining suburbs receiving heavy rainfall, while the rest of the city remained mostly dry throughout the day.

The rains, however, are expected to spread. According to the latest update, light rain showers are likely to occur in other parts of Mumbai by tonight. A video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @MudassirGoenka7 shows intense rainfall continuing in the Churchgate area, confirming that the heavy showers are currently localised to South Mumbai and nearby regions.

While the rainfall brought some relief from the recent humid conditions, citizens are advised to remain alert, especially in areas prone to waterlogging, as weather activity may pick up in other parts of the city during the night.
