Southwest Monsoon has been gracing the West Coast of India with good rains since July began. Though the intensity of rains reduced in the last couple of days which was all due to the weakening of the offshore trough running along the West Coast.
However, the last 24 hours were a complete U-turn for the West Coastal regions of the country wherein most coastal areas particularly the Konkan & Goa region recorded some really heavy rains on their name. In a span of 24 hours from 08:30 am on Friday, Harnai recorded a whopping three-digit rainfall to the tune of 111 mm followed by Mumbai that witnessed 68 mm of rains, Vengurla 30 mm, Dahanu 31 mm, Veraval 16 mm, Porbandar 11 mm, and Ratnagiri recorded light traces of 13 mm.

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.
