These weather conditions have been attributed to the presence of the off shore trough which is currently running along the West Coast from Gujarat Coast up to Kerala Coast. Thus, good showers have been occurring over the region, all thanks to these weather systems.
As per weathermen at Skymet, good showers are expected to occur over both Coastal Karnataka as well as the coastal parts of Kerala region. The possibility of isolated showers over some areas cannot be ruled out.
