The city on Friday continued to see heavy showers for the third day in a row. The Indian Meteorological Department's forecast has predicted 'spells of rain with heavy falls at isolated places' in the city and suburbs for the next 48 hours. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's disaster cell received complaints of waterlogging from low-lying areas towards Friday evening.

The good news that three days of consistent rain brought was both the Tansa and Modak Sagar lakes overflowing by Friday. Four out of the seven lakes that supply water to the city received an average of about 100 mm rainfall on Friday. The water stock in Mumbai's lakes stood at 64.14 per cent (9,28,326 million litres) as of Friday.
