The reason for the reduction in rainfall activity over the West Coast is due to the weakening of the offshore trough running from Coastal Maharashtra up to the Kerala region.
According to Skymet Weather, light to moderate rains with isolated heavy showers will continue over both Konkan and Goa as well as Coastal Karnataka.
However, rains are expected to reduce over Kerala and only light rainfall with isolated moderate showers are expected over the region during the next 24 hours.
