After a week-long dry spell, Nashik city and its adjoining areas received heavy rains on Friday.
The downpour, coupled with thunderstorms, lashed the city from Friday evening and there were some good spells on Saturday as well, officials said.
In the 24 hours ending 8 am on Saturday, Baglan tehsil in the district recorded the highest rainfall of 100 mm, followed by Sinnar (57 mm), Devla (46.2 mm), Nashik (33.2 mm), Malegaon (28 mm), Igatpuri (21 mm) and Trimbakeshwar tehsil (18 mm), the officials said.
