MUMBAI, May 7 -- On Tuesday evening, the city saw gusty winds, hazy views and heavy rain as forecasted by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which put Mumbai on yellow alert indicating light and moderate rain. The city was besieged by thunder and dust storms followed by rains that collectively affected visibility, in turn impacting traffic and pedestrians. The impact of the dust storm was such that objects were sucked up in the air-in one such instance, a piece of cloth landed on the overhead equipment of Western Railway in Dahisar's north-bound line, which temporarily affected train movement. The BMC alerted people to take precautions before stepping out of the house. While the coastal region saw light drizzles, areas like Borivali, Kandivali, Andheri, Lower Parel, Bhayandar and Powai experienced showers. Sports aficionados expressed worry about the weather affecting the Indian Premier League match taking place at Wankhede stadium in Marine Lines. 'After having a not so good power play, #GT made a comeback and score above the required DLS score, in case if it rains heavily than it might impact Mumbai adversely,' (sic) posted @SaiprasadThotla. "We will keep tabs on the weather and update the alerts accordingly," said said Sushma Nair, scientist at IMD Mumbai. "So far, the alerts only hold for Wednesday, and the rains are expected to subside after that."...
