Rain activity resumed after a gap of three days with heavy thunder storm affecting almost the whole of Goa after 2 am on Friday August 21.
The rainfall recorded till 8.30 am on August 21 was heaviest in Margao and Dabolim rain centers of IMD.
The Rain Gauge of Vagaries Goa stationed at Aquem, Margao recorded 64 mm during the same period. The thunder storm activity was most intense between 2 am and 4 am, August 21 at Aquem, Margao. This brought the total rainfall at Vagaries Goa to 2045 mm.
The weather Blogger Rajesh Kapadia in his latest Blog post at the Vagaries of the Weather Blog, estimates moderate rainfall for Konkan and coastal Karnataka in the next three days. You can read his blog post by clicking on this link.
Sanguem with total seasonal rainfall so far of 96.4 inches, above Valpoi with 92.1 inches, looks set to cross the 100 inch mark before August end. However Pernem has so far received just 60.1 inches during the same period.
The area weighted average rainfall for Goa continues to be deficient, having received -22% below normal rainfall so far.
Goa needs above average rainfall on all days of the rest of the season, to recover to normal category, which seems a tall order right now!
