These weather conditions can be attributed to a weakening of the offshore trough which is seen moving away from the state. Secondly, we do not foresee any weather systems developing across Maharashtra.
Due to this, there are no chances of good Monsoon rains to occur within few days over Maharashtra and adjoining areas. The intensity of rainfall activities over Konkan & Goa may reduce significantly in the next two to three days but few spells of light to moderate rains at few places cannot be ruled out.
