    Mumbai witnessed heavy rains overnight and on Friday morning with severe waterlogging in many areas. The IMD issued an orange alert for Thane and Palghar districts on Saturday. Thane city recorded 97.77 mm of rainfall in 12 hours while heavy rain lashed Pune city and its adjoining areas. The intensity of rains was expected to diminish over the next two days.
