Just days after its grand opening, the Worli underground metro station on Metro Line-3 was left waterlogged and partially non-operational as torrential rains battered the city. The flooding forced the metro line to stop, with trains operating only up to Worli instead of Acharya Atre Chowk.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) confirmed that the southwest monsoon arrived in Mumbai 16 days ahead of schedule, marking its earliest onset in 25 years. The city recorded 104 mm of rain in just one hour, leading to widespread waterlogging, traffic gridlocks, and train delays.
