Konkan and Coastal Karnataka in particular have been constant receivers of heavy Monsoon showers. Rainfall activity also has picked up pace in Kerala in between.
While rainfall activity had taken a backseat over the entire West Coast due to the weakening of the off shore trough, Monsoon activity has once again made a comeback over this region.

During the last 24 hours form 8:30 am on Saturday, Mahabaleshwar recorded a whopping 83 mm of rain, Mumbai witnessed 73 mm, Karwar 63 mm, Thane 54 mm, Mangalore 53 mm, Panjim 40 mm, Vengurla 32 mm, Kannur 25 mm, Kochi 12 mm and Honavar 32 mm.
These weather conditions have been attributed to the presence of the active Offshore trough running from South Gujarat up to Lakshadweep region.
