The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has also forecasted the possibility of heavy to very heavy rains at isolated parts of the city and suburbs.
Occasional winds at a speed of 50 to 60 km per hour are also very likely.
BMC has predicted high tides of 4.20 metres at 2:18 a.m today. The average rainfall recorded from July 23 to July 24 has been 26.28 mm.
Local train services on the Main Line of the Mumbai suburban network were disrupted after a bamboo structure fell on an overhead wire between Sion and Matunga stations on Wednesday morning, the Central Railway officials said.
As a result, the fast local train services remained held up between Sion and Matunga stations for almost an hour, causing hardships for office-goers and others. Due to the delay, many passengers chose to get off the stationary local trains and walk along the tracks, risking their lives, a commuter and train activist said.
Central Railway's chief public relations officer Swapnil Nila said, "A bamboo structure erected around a building adjacent to the railway line fell down on the UP fast (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus-bound) line between Sion and Matunga stations at around 7.25 am."
