Update: 6 pm June 9, 2014
The latest IMD release plots the Northern Limit of Monsoon at Karwar! Which means that the SW Monsoon is at our doorstep. IMD also forecasts heavy rains for Goa for June 10 and 11 (exceeding 70 mm)! The offshore low has brought overcast conditions with bursts of rainfall and gusts of wind, but also sunshine and clear skies as I look out west-southwest at 6.15 pm!

The INSAT Image at 14:30 hrs June 9, 2014 is as under:
The system is moving westwards.
Under its influence:
1. Goa is experiencing gusty winds upto 30-40 kmh accompanied by occasional rains.
2. The monsoon trough is getting disturbed, and veering away from the Kerala, Karnataka, Goa coast into the Arabian Sea
As a result Monsoon onset into Goa may get delayed beyond June 10 by a day or two. Rains in Kerala will also decrease, till the monsoon trough is re-established by June 11.
This does appear to spell further delay in monsoon onset in Goa.
