South Goa was lashed by heavy rainfall on the night of September 17 - 18.
In 24 hrs till 0830 hrs on Friday September 18, Vagaries Goa had recorded 110 mm and IMD Centres at Margao (73.1 mm), Sanguem (97.7 mm), Quepem (73.8 mm) and Mormugao (62 mm).
The medium to heavy rains in the last three days helped bring down the seasonal deficit for Goa to -18%.
These rains were due to the revival of monsoon trough off the west coast of India under the influence of the deep depression BB6, as it moved from Bay of Bengal westwards.
As BB6 has taken a northward course over land, and is now approaching Gujarat, rains along the the west coast will shift towards North Konkan, Mumbai and Gujarat from Friday itself.

However meteologists are closely monitoring the possibility of another system developing in Bay of Bengal around 23 - 25th September, which could bring rainfall to the southern peninsula, similar to BB6.
Till than expect light rains in Goa.
