The APMC market in Vashi was flooded as the water level rose about 1.5 feet at the entrance due to the lack of a proper drainage system, which led to difficulties for pedestrians. 

While neighbouring Panvel was also lashed with rains, which caused waterlogging in several places. Water also entered homes in low-lying areas and flooded the Panvel railway station, leading to delays in Central Railway train services of at least 20 to 30 minutes in the early hours.

The water stock in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) rose to 2 to 5% in just three days amid territorial rains in catchment areas. The water stock in Barvi Dam in Thane reached 100%, while in Dhamni, it was 94.6% and in Morbe Dam, it was 91.5%.
