As predicted, the rains reached the shores of Goa, albeit a day in advance!
After Nil or trace rains from September 1 to 6, most parts of Goa experienced heavy to moderate rains since early morning of 7th. Though the rains are expected to ease off during the day on 7th,Goa is forecast to receive heavy to moderate rains from 8th evening to 10th.
As pointed out by blogger Rajesh Kapadia in his blog Vagaries of the weather the trough off the west coast of India from Goa to Kerala has become active due to emergence
of a low off the coast of TN. This low is expected to move west across interior Karnataka and into Arabian
Sea off Goa by 9th or 10th. Thus bringing heavy to moderate rains to Goa.
