After a quiet night, the rains roared on Thursday morning with Mumbai and the metropolitan region receiving torrential downpours. The rainfall caused a drop in visibility, waterlogging in several low-lying areas and also disrupted traffic. 

As the rain continued its onslaught, a third of seven lakes supplying water to Mumbai overflowed in the wee hours of Thursday. Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, on July 25 morning, announced that the Vihar Lake had overflown after it breached its 27,698 million litre holding capacity.
