A cyclonic circulation is forming over Konkan and Goa, and it will gradually move north along the Maharahstra coast, as per Skymet.

Though the monsoon hit neighbouring Kerala on May 29 and was to enter Karnataka on June 1, it got delayed by three days due to other climatic conditions and changing weather patterns. The Met Office has issued heavy rainfall alerts in coastal and southern interior regions.

Meteorological department officials say that pre-monsoon showers were in excess of about 40 per cent in the state this year. This has also brought cheers to farmers as early rains will keep the soil fertile for sowing operations and fodder for cattle.
