The IMD stated that heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in the island city and suburbs till Sunday (July 27, 2025) morning, with the possibility of occasional gusty winds reaching 40-50 kmph.

According to the latest 24-hour rainfall data recorded between 8 a.m. on July 25 and 8 a.m. on July 26, the city received 29.51 mm of rain.

While the eastern and western suburbs recorded 89.44 mm and 81.42 mm of rainfall, respectively, the island city received light rain at 29.51 mm.

Amid an orange alert for Mumbai on Friday (July 25, 2025), the metropolis received intermittent heavy spells with occasional sunshine. The IMD, meanwhile, upgraded its orange alert for Palghar to red, predicting extremely heavy rainfall in some areas.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said a high tide of 4.67 metres is expected at 1.20 p.m. and a low tide of 1.26 metres at 7.27 p.m. on Saturday (July 26, 2025).

Typically, heavy rain during high tides causes waterlogging of low-lying areas.
