Pre-monsoon rains hit Mumbai on Thursday, bringing relief to city residents after a spell of hot and humid weather conditions. The India Meteorological Department has forecast "heavy to very heavy" rains in Maharashtra, especially in the coastal Konkan region, from June 9 to 11.
The weather department is yet to formally announce the onset of monsoon in the city.
According to reports, the heavy rain, like previous years, led to waterlogging in several places and disrupted traffic and flight services.
