Scattered rain and thundershowers are expected over Goa during the next 24 hours.
At present, the weather over Goa is warm with cloud cover. Minimum temperatures are in the range of 19-20°C, while maximums are settling in lower 30s between 31-32°C. Hence, the weather conditions are pleasant and comfortable at the moment.
These rains will be attributed to the remnants of Cyclone Vardah, which has now weakened significantly and it will continue to move inland reaching up to Southeast Arabian Sea. The system is expected to weaken into a cyclonic circulation, bringing scattered light rains with one or two moderate spells over South Konkan and Goa including Panjim.
Cyclone Vardah had made landfall yesterday near Chennai as a severe cyclonic storm and wreaked havoc over the capital city of Tamil Nadu and several places in Andhra Pradesh. Heavy to extremely heavy rains with squally winds were observed over the regions. Today, as it moved inland, it gave ample amounts of rainfall to the city of Bangalore as well.
This rainy spell over Goa will clearly indicate that the weather conditions have become favourable for the tourists. However, these rains will not be widespread and continuous. Also, slight drop in minimum temperatures are likely over the region.
