Now, as the offshore trough running along the West Coast is activated and so is the Monsoon surge, rains along the West Coast is likely to continue with the good rains. Though the intensity of rains is likely to be more over Konkan & Goa regions. Thus the Konkan & Goa region can expect moderate rains with some heavy spells as well.
While, coastal Karnataka and Kerala can brace for some moderate showers making way.
