Update September 9: rains delayed?

A sudden formation of an UAC over west Gujarat on September 8, has stalled the westward movement of the UAC near AP coast and consequently heavy rains expected in Goa from September 8 night may be delayed by two days. The rains may skip Goa all together moving into Konkan region if the UAC moves in NW direction instead of W.

While the absence of rain will be welcome Ganesh devotees,
 it would extend the present break in monsoon a few more days.

Updates will follow if situation changes
