In the Bay of Bengal still, low pressure has been developed and due to this, a cyclone-like environment has been created which will result in more rainfall. It is expected that Goa will continue to receive rainfall till December due to these conditions.
As per the prediction of the Meteorological Department, it is expected that Goa will again receive low rainfall from Monday.
The department has issued a warning to the fishermen not to venture in deep-sea as a low-pressure area has been developed in the coastal belt along with Gujarat to Goa. Unlike the last few years this year, Pernem has received more rainfall than Valpoi.
