West Coast has been lying dormant for quite dormant for some time. In fact, all the three rainiest pockets of Kerala, Karnataka, Konkan and Goa remained quiet. However, rains have begun to pick up pace over Kerala and the state recorded heavy showers in the last 24 hours which also extended to some parts of Karnataka.
Now, along with Karnataka, Goa will also see some rains in the coming days. Rains are travelling from south to north, which means Goa will have to wait a little. Thus, around August 4 onward, we can expect good rains until August 6. August 8 onward, it will become light.

Now also, these areas including Mysore, Chitradurga, Shimoga will see good rains in the next three days.
