These rains caused flooding, water currents, and fallen branches or light structures on streets. By August 24, the government reported responding to 24 flooded areas and the fall of 13 trees. The alerts continued through the weekend, with yellow alerts extended to seven boroughs by August 25 and nine boroughs by August 26.
