As heavy rains continue to lash Mumbai and its adjoining areas, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a multi-hazard warning for the next 5 days starting July 16.

As heavy rains caused water-logging and traffic jams at several places, Mumbaikars took to Twitter to share pictures and videos of a rainy Thursday. Soon #MumbaiRains and #MumbaiRainsWithMidday started to trend on the micro-blogging site.
