The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a heavy rain warning for Mumbai for June 13 and 14. Following IMD's heavy rain advisory, the Disaster Management Department of BMC has appealed to the citizens to avoid going to the beaches and coastal areas on June 13 and 14. The south-west monsoon had arrived in the city on Wednesday, June 9, as heavy rains caused flooding on roads and rail tracks, disrupting suburban train services. The first rains of this year's monsoon season in Mumbai had also caused water-logging in various parts of the city on that day. Mumbaikars on Friday got some respite, after two days of continuous showers, as rains took a break in the city and its suburbs, civic officials said.
