The reason for reduced rainfall activity is attributed to the off shore trough which is now running from Coastal Karnataka to Kerala region.
However, as per weathermen at Skymet, rains will increase over the Coastal Maharashtra region around July 13 and 14. Not only this, meanwhile, good rains are likely to continue over other parts of the West Coast including Kerala as well as Coastal Karnataka. Mumbai is also likely to observe an increase in Monson showers.
