Mumbai Weather: Airport Operations In Mumbai Resume, Sea-Link Open - 10 PointsMumbai's residents were advised to stay home if they could as the city was lashed today by what the weatherman said could be the heaviest rain in 12 years. With high tide at 4:40 pm, the city police have urged people to avoid beaches and promenades. There is thigh-high water in many parts of the city, vehicles are half submerged, with people abandoning cars to walk. Local train services have been paralysed with tracks flooded. Airport operations resumed but flights are delayed and there are big traffic jams all over the city. The state government has asked offices to allow employees to leave early. The situation in the city is being compared to July 2005, when the city was paralysed by floods."
