Extremely heavy Monsoon rains lashed several parts of the West Coast of the country during the past day. The offshore trough extending from Maharashtra Coast to Kerala Coast and a cyclonic circulation over South Madhya Maharashtra and adjoining South Konkan & Goa were responsible for these hefty showers.
Moreover, a low-pressure area has also developed over North Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas that further enhanced rains along the West Coast, particularly over Coastal Karnataka, South Coastal Maharashtra, and Goa.
