Tidal circumstances add to the weather situation and may make low-lying places more susceptible to waterlogging. At 2:14 PM today, a high tide is predicted, with the sea level reaching 4.31 meters. At 8:14 p.m., a low tide measuring 1.94 meters will occur. The next high tide is predicted for Sunday, June 15 at 1:53 am (3.64 meters), followed by a low tide at 7:39 am (0.85 meters).

In areas of Mumbai that are vulnerable to flooding, the risk of waterlogging rises when rain falls during the afternoon high tide. It is anticipated that the Monsoon Core Zone (MCZ), which encompasses the majority of the nation's rainfed agricultural regions, will see above-normal (>106% LPA) southwest monsoon seasonal rainfall.

Furthermore, from June to September 2025, normal to above-normal rainfall is anticipated for the majority of the nation, with the exception of a few regions in East and Northwest India and numerous areas in Northeast India, where rainfall is most likely to be below average.
