Continuous downpour in the cities, including Panaji, Mapusa, Vasco and Margao, led to traffic congestions and flooding as water entered the houses in low-lying areas. Since 1994, this is the highest rainfall that Goa has received (282mm in 6 hours). In 1994, Goa had received 304.6mm of rain in 24 hours.
