- Ratnagiri district recorded over 117 mm of rainfall, causing several rivers to overflow and increasing the risk of flooding.
- In Raigad, heavy rainfall forced the closure of schools across several talukas. Authorities have also suspended trekking activities at Raigad Fort till August 15 due to potential landslide threats.
- In Satara, six gates of the Koyna Dam were opened due to rising water levels, resulting in waterlogging in nearby low-lying areas.
