The southwest monsoon winds have hit Goa with full force, bringing heavy rains to most parts of the state on Monday.

Besides the heavy showers, the traders suffered the perils of waterlogging here. Parts of Panjim also saw traffic diversions on Monday. Cumulative rains until 8:30 PM on Monday were recorded up to 113.5 mm in Old Goa, 98mm in Panjim, and 97 mm in Pernerm.

As per the MeT reports, the two branches of monsoon rains are progressing northwards due to well-marked low-pressure areas in these regions. These troughs are not only progressing the speed of the winds but also are brewing their intensity. The IMD analysis further suggests that an off-shore trough runs off the west coast, instigating hot and humid southwesterly winds to blow over Konkan and Malabar coats.

These pressure gradients are collectively creating a favourable advancement of the rains along the coast of Goa and many parts of UP and Bihar for the next 48 hours.
