It has been raining incessantly since morning and if it continues till high tide in the evening, India's commercial capital could be in for hours of flooding, traffic jams and stranded cars on the roads.
"Not a river, but a road," reported an NDTV correspondent at central Mumbai.
Weathermen believe the rain, heavier than average, could continue for at least 24 hours. "Heavy to very heavy rain" has been predicted for at least the next 24 hours in Mumbai and its suburbs.
In the past 12 hours, rain has flooded some low-lying areas and slowed down traffic. "Due to very heavy rain and water-logging on tracks", trains have been delayed by around 15 minutes, said the Railways Ministry.
Images showed cars crawling in ankle to knee-deep water and residents struggling to cross roads fearing potholes and uncovered drains.
