Both accounts align on the timing of the downgrade and the geographic scope of the forecast. The reports describe the rainfall as part of ongoing weather conditions prompting IMD to warn of stronger precipitation, though they do not specify any confirmed impacts such as flooding, casualties, or major service disruptions in the excerpts provided.
