Mr Rohit Aroskar, who has his own page at Vagaries of the Weather Blog has posted on google map, a comparison of the seasonal rainfall from June 1 to August 7, 2015 for areas in and around Goa. The same is reproduced here again:
One can clearly see from the map that the rainfall increases from the coastal belt to the top of the western Ghats.
While Sanguem and Valpoi at the base of the Ghats have received around 200 cms (2000 mm) during the period from June 1 to August 7, 2015, Ambolim,(Maharastra), Kanakumbi, Amgaon, Castle Rock and Kundal (all in Karnataka) have received more than 250 cms (2500 mm).
The straight line distance from Panjim to Amgaon is just 52 kms, but the variation in rainfall is significant indeed!
