The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) has announced a holiday for all schools on Monday, August 18 and Tuesday, August 19, following heavy rainfall. Thane continued to reel under heavy rains for the third consecutive day on August 18, resulting in waterlogging in low-lying areas. Blinding downpours in some parts of the city reduced visibility and slowed vehicular movement. Roads in multiple localities were inundated. The IMD has issued an orange alert for Mumbai and Thane districts, one level below a red warning, until at least Tuesday. After this period, the intensity of showers is expected to ease to heavy rain. "In the backdrop of the ongoing heavy rainfall in Thane district, a holiday has been declared for all types of schools, of all mediums and all managements, in the Thane Municipal Corporation area on 18 August 2025 and 19 August 2025," TMC posted on X. Mumbai Rains: Heavy Rainfall Lashes Parts of City, Waterlogging Affects Traffic Movement (Watch Videos).
