Phulera (Jaipur) and Bijolia (Bhilwara) received 110 mm of rainfall, the highest in the state. In Jaipur, almost 35 mm of rainfall was recorded by 5:30am, which created problems for commuters. The city experienced dense cloud cover in the afternoon around 1:30pm, accompanied by moderate to heavy rainfall. At Muhana Mandi, several vehicles got stuck due to the caving in of the road. Heavy waterlogging was seen on Sikar Road, Queen's Road, King's Road, Khatipura, Raja Park, Jawahar Nagar, and Shastri Nagar areas in the city.

PMC clears choked drains Officials from the Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) drainage and road departments said that teams were busy clearing choked drains and accumulated water from various spots on Friday. People, however, said that the civic administration now faces the challenge of repairing potholes and resurfacing roads. Santosh Kadu, who often takes Apte Road, said that two drainage chambers were overflowing on Wednesday. "Though water has stopped flowing out from the chambers the condition of the road has worsened," Kadu said. PMC's water supply department has decided not to draw water from a well located at Barangani Mala in the Sinhagad Road area for the next couple of days as a precautionary measure following heavy spells of rain. A nullah in the area started overflowing on Wednesday. Additional water tankers are being pressed into service to cater to Dhayri, Sinhagad Road and Nanded. The civic administration plans to take up a cleaning drive in the well and nearby areas after which water lifting will begin again, officials said.
