As per Skymet Weather, as of now, good rains are likely to continue over coastal Karnataka. However, light intensity rains are likely to occur in North Konkan and Kerala coast until August 24. Thereafter, the offshore trough is expected to become active once again thereby resulting in the rains to increase over the entire West Coast.
