After a lengthy dry spell, Mumbaikars finally woke up to heavy rains last week.

A few hours of incessant showers left the financial capital struggling with the familiar monsoon woes of waterlogging, delayed trains, traffic jams and choked drains.

Even flights to and from the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport experienced delay due to the downpour.

The Quint bring you pictures of a waterlogged Mumbai and its residents dealing with the arrival of monsoon.
