Thereafter, the rain belt will cover more areas further giving rains over CoastalMaharashtraas well. In fact, between June 5 and 8, both Maharashtra andKarnatakawill receive good rains during this period. The capital citiesMumbaiandBangalorewill also receive good showers in the same time span.
After lashing the entire West Coast, the rain belt will further cover areas of Gujarat and Maharashtra as well. Thus, parts of both Gujarat andRajasthanare also expected to receive some rains due to this system between June 9 and 13.
The weather system is expected to result in a prolonged rainy spell over several states along the West Coast. These rains will also result in a marginal drop of temperatures over the above mentioned areas as well.
