Mumbai remains under an ‘orange’ alert on Friday, with the weather department forecasting heavy rainfall, while AccuWeather has warned of persistent rain and a possibility of flooding on Saturday. Heavy rain led to waterlogging in parts of Worli and Kurla, as well as chronic flood-prone locations like Hindmata Junction, Kings Circle, and the Andheri Subway, disrupting pedestrian movement. Palghar roads were also flooded due to incessant rain.
