A high tide of 4.40 metres is anticipated later today at 1:57 PM, according to IMD forecasts, further raising concerns about flooding and travel disruptions. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) schools, government schools, and all private schools and colleges in Mumbai will also remain closed today for the second academic session in order to minimize disruptions and ensure the safety of students in light of the weather.
