"All schools and offices have been advised to close down for the day in view of the inclement weather that is likely to worsen," BMC Additional Commissioner A Maheshkar told reporters.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan informed the Legislative Assembly of the decision of shut down.
While the schools have been asked to shut down at 1 pm, offices have been advised to close by 2 pm, Maheshkar said after a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Johny Joseph at Mantralaya.
She said the BMC was arranging for buses at Chhatrapati Shivaji and Churchgate terminus to ferry people back home. All 24 control rooms of the BMC have been activated, she said, adding many trees maybe uprooted as the city and its adjoining areas were expected to experience high-speed winds reaching upto 90 KM per hour.
The machinery has been geared up to promptly clear the streets of the trees and people cautioned against taking shelter under them.
Asked if the advisory for closure of educational institutions and offices would be in force even tomorrow, she said no such decision had been taken as yet.

Bombay should be separated from Maharashtra and made an Union Territory. This way Bombay will be release from the clutches of Raj Thackeray and his Marathi goons.
The question is of cyclone and you are talking of corruption and involving in the talks of Gujjus and all. With this cyclone coming we should take utmost care and it's time to take care of each other. This is the start of Kaliyuga's end and we as humans are alone responsible for this situation. Shredding forests, no plantation, no care of environment is paying off now, and its breaking on us. The nature is showing how powerful he can be, and spreading the message all across the world that "DON"T MESS WITH THE NATURE, OTHERWISE IT WILL SCREW US LIKE ANYTHING".
Cyclones and other natural threats like earthquakes and tsunami are sign of Qiyamah. Human should me make strong relation to his creature. In these days, unfortunately this kind of incidents are common, but man don't take any lesson from them. It is time to remember Allah and worship him alone. It is so sad that after this kind of incident government and other institutions use them for their priceless political agenda. It is totally shame to humanity. People knows about Tsunami incident. After this their are so many cases of corruption and mismanagement. It proves our nature level of thinking. Now it is big question. Are we ready to take lesson from this sign?
INDIAN SLUMDOGS WHO HAVE BEEN OBSESSED FOR THE LAST SO MANY YEARS WITH VILLIFYING AND DEMONISING GUJARAT AND GUJJUS AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY MUST BE WAITING WITH GREAT EXCITMENT AT THE POSSIBILITY OF A MAJOR CYCLONE HITTING GUJARAT AND CAUSING GREAT HAVOC AND DESTRUCTION IN ITS WAKE. THESE PARASITES AND BEGGERS FROM THE SEWERS STILL DO NOT GET IT THAT WE GUJJUS ARE A VERY RESILIENT PEOPLE AND IF ANYTHING EMERGE FROM ANY ADVERSITY MUCH STRONGER.
Mr. Harish's post is quite the proof that some such people need counselling. He is quite ignorant that the cyclone is targetting Maharashtra, skipping Gujarat. I am sure Mr. Harish has bags full of untaxed black money and nothing else.
And yes Harsh moron I do have not bags full but many trillions of untaxed black money but I am not going to let it be taxed to subsidise ungrateful Indian parasites and beggars like you.
Harsh slumdog moron, instead of calling me ignorant just make an effort to read the Indian Express report on which I have made the comment. And INDAN yes I do admit to crimes against humanity committed by your co-religionists>
So you admit to the crimes against humanity in Gujarat?
