Suburban services on Central Railway Mumbai were erratic since morning due to heavy rain and wind. This was followed by a rail fracture near Matunga and, later in the evening, a small portion of the roof of Mumbai’s biggest railway station at Mumbai CSMT fell off due to heavy winds. While the Coastal Road faced a traffic jam in the early hours because of the heavy rain, with a resultant traffic situation in south Mumbai, flights to and from Mumbai faced disruptions on Friday morning. Various airlines in their statements said that the delay was due to weather conditions. IMD has predicted a washed out Saturday and Sunday.
