The heavy downpour, which began around midnight with lightning and thunder, continued in the morning, leading to inundation of low-lying areas including King's Circle, Lalbaug, Worli, Dadar, Parel, Kurla, Sion, Gandhi Market and other areas. The water-filled potholes further worsened the road traffic conditions.

As per the nowcast issued by the Indian Meteorological Department at 10 am, an orange alert was issued in Pune, Ratnagiri, Thane, Palghar and Ahmednagar. Red alert was issued in Mumbai Suburban and City.
