In the last 24 hours as well, most parts of the region has recorded subdued rain activity. During the similar time frame, North Coastal Maharashtra have received heavy to very heavy rainfall. These rains can be attributed to the cyclonic circulation which was over North Maharashtra Coast.

As this cyclonic circulation has weakened, thus Monsoon will go subdued again over most parts of Konkan and Goa and Kerala.

However, a cyclonic circulation is still persisting over Lakshadweep region. In wake of this, light to moderate rains are possible at a few places over Coastal Karnataka and adjoining parts of Kerala Coast. Heavy to very heavy rains are ruled out for the time being over the entire West Coast region.
