After days of sweltering heat, Goa experienced much-needed relief on Tuesday as pre-monsoon showers brought down the temperature from a high of 34.6°C.
The rainfall, which began in the afternoon at many places, provided a refreshing break from the heat.
According to India Meteorological Department (IMD) official Nahush Kulkarni, the showers are a pre-monsoon phenomenon that occurs between March and May.
“It is pre-monsoon showers. This is due to a trough running across the interiors of Maharashtra and Karnataka, at one km above the mean sea level,” he explained, speaking to The Goan.
While the showers cooled the State, the Met Department stated that there is no rain alert for Wednesday.
It also stated that the weather is very likely to be dry with maximum temperature very likely to prevail between 34-35°C and shallow to moderate fog likely in the morning.
