The intensified rainfall has led to a sharp increase in inflows into major dams located in these districts, most of which have already recorded over 70% of their storage capacity.

Meanwhile, Pune city experienced light rainfall during the morning hours on July 15. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the city recorded 8 mm of rainfall by 5.30 pm with Pashan reporting the highest within city limits at 13.5 mm.
