Heavy rains in Mumbai caused major water logging in areas like Lower Parel on Saturday, leaving residents and commuters stranded, and causing a huge traffic gridlock.

As the Regional Meteorological Centre at Mumbai declared the onset on monsoon in the city yesterday, several parts of the city like Kandivali, Jogeshwari and Khar in the western suburbs, and Thane, Mulund and Ghatkopar in the eastern suburbs saw a significant drop in the minimum temperatures.

The MET department has said that the southwest monsoon had reached North Konkan, including several regions of Thane, Ratnagiri and Greater Mumbai.
