Mumbai suburbs received the highest rainfall of the season, with Santacruz receiving 253 mm of rain in a single day — the second-highest July rainfall in the past 10 years. The heavy rain, combined with a high tide of 3.6 metres, resulted in waterlogging in many low lying areas of the city. But the rain receded after 9 am and helped drain out the water.

Of the 253 mm rain recorded at the Santacruz observatory of the Indian Meteorology Department (IMD), 250 mm rain was received in only 12 hours till 8.30 am on Friday. On the other hand, the Colaba observatory recorded only 11 mm of rain in the same duration. Earlier on June 9, Santacruz received 222 mm rainfall in 24 hours.
