PANAJI: Rain and thundershowers are most likely, both in North and South Goa, beginning tomorrow, ie: Sunday 27th November and will continue for another 5 to 6 days, the weatherman warned.

“With the possibility of a change in weather patterns, rainfall or thunder shower activity is very likely from around Sunday over both districts of Goa,” a bulletin issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.

Goans should expect light to moderate rain in both North and South Goa beginning Sunday till Thursday. While the weather conditions will favour light to moderate rain or thunder showers for about five days in isolated places, thunderstorms accompanied by lightning are likely over one or two places during this period. Another weather system in the first week of December is also expected to bring rain to the coastal state.

The rainfall is not likely to be heavy, the met said, but cautioned people about bouts of lightning.

According to the IMD, a new circulation near the southeast Arabian Sea has developed, due to which winds will turn easterly from Saturday and later a trough that is likely to extend from it towards eastcentral Arabian Sea will trigger another wet spell in Goa and neighbouring states.
