Mumbai's seven reservoirs are now nearly full, at 83.68% capacity, after a burst of heavy rain in the last 24 hours, according to the BMC.

Water levels jumped by over 6%, with Modak Sagar, Vihar, and Tulsi already overflowing.

The IMD has put out a yellow alert for the city as wet weather continues.

Modak Sagar hit full capacity on July 23; Tansa is almost there too at 98.45%, and Bhatsa, Middle Vaitarna, and Upper Vaitarna aren't far behind.

The IMD says to expect more heavy rain in some spots, gusty winds up to 70km/h, and a high tide over 3 meters on Saturday morning and a high tide in the evening.
