Prospects for the weekend July 5 and July 6

Detailed outlook for India and for various regions has been posted by weather guru Rajesh Kapadia at http://www.vagaries.in

He has forecast decreasing rains for Konkan and Goa as per the charts reproduced here:


After putting a great show on July 3, when Panjim recorded 49 mm and Margao recorded 93.6 mm in 24 hrs ending 0830 on July 4, the rains sputtered on July 4 again!

From 0830 hrs to 1730 hrs on July 4, Panjim recorded only 5.9 mm and Margao 6 mm (unofficial).

The rains of July 3 were the result of the UAC at 500 hPa of the coast of Konkan, which also brought record rains to Mumbai and other areas on the coast.

The revival of monsoons in the true sense and style of 'rains in Goa', seems still a few days ahead!
