The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an ‘orange’ alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall in Mumbai, Thane, and Palghar, and a ‘red’ alert for Raigad on Monday, after heavy rains lashed the State of Maharashtra.
Apart from the weather observation body, airline companies like SpiceJet and IndiGo also issued their travel advisory for people using the airline services.
Flight Advisory
SpiceJet, in an official notification on social media, said that all departures, arrivals, and consequential flights might be affected by the inclement weather conditions in Mumbai and urged flyers to check the flight status.
“Due to bad weather (rain) in Mumbai (BOM), all departures/arrivals and their consequential flights may get affected. Passengers are requested to keep a check on their flight status,” said SpiceJet.
IndiGo also advised its passengers to check their flight status and allow extra time for their travel to the airport for any unforeseen delays due to the heavy rainfall in the city.
“Heavy rainfall continues across #Mumbai, and road conditions remain slow in several parts of the city. Waterlogging and low visibility are being reported on some routes to the airport,” said IndiGo in its official announcement.
According to Mint's earlier report, Suburban train services on both the Central and Western Railway lines in Mumbai were also running behind their schedule. Some commuters reported delays of 20 to 30 minutes on Central Railway trains during the morning rush hour.
IMD told the news agency Reuters, monsoon rains on Monday covered almost the entire western state of Maharashtra and entered neighbouring Gujarat and the central state of Madhya Pradesh.
