Mumbai Rains live update: Mumbaikars woke up to a rainy morning on Wednesday as over-night heavy rainfall resulted in water-logging in several parts of the city including Sion, Parel, Dadar and Byculla. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted heavy rainfall and has issued an 'Orange alert' for Mumbai and Thane for today. In wake of IMD's warning, schools in Mumbai are closed today, BMC said in a tweet. 

"The principals of schools where students have already reached, have been directed to ensure their safe return home," BMC tweeted.

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Mumbai Police have issued warnings in the wake of the alert and also urged people to avoid "venturing near the sea of walking in water-logged areas".

“Heavy rainfall warning in the city by IMD. We request Mumbaikars to avoid venturing near the sea or walking in waterlogged areas. For any assistance do call 1916. Take care Mumbai,” read the tweet by the BMC.
