Mumbaikars woke up to a rainy morning today, August 17, as heavy rains have lashed the city since last night, causing waterlogging in several areas of Mumbai. The heavy downpour also threw normal life out of gear, triggering a red alert warning by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Meanwhile, the continuous rains have also led to waterlogging at the Mumbai airport, throwing flight operations off schedule due to the accumulation of water on the tarmac and its surrounding areas. Multiple videos showing flooding at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) have surfaced online. Airlines such as IndiGo and SpiceJet took to social media to issue advisories and caution passengers to check for updates before heading to the airport.
