Even as Mumbai was preparing to face a severe cyclonic storm on Wednesday, much of its intensity fizzled out after it made a landfall 50 km south of Alibaug at 2.30 pm, and eventually turned into a deep depression over sea by 8 pm. According to experts, the swift movement of the cyclone did not let it stay over the coast and intensify and also a huge eye led to its gradual weakening.

While Mumbai, Thane and Palghar districts received on and off rainfall throughout the day, the intensity of it was quite less compared to the forecast. However, Alibaug and Raigad was the most affected as the wind speed recorded there was 120 kmph. However, the wind speed in Mumbai was 50 kmph.
