After remaining silent, the Monsoon showers have once again paced up in parts of Southern Peninsular India particularly over Kerala, Karnataka, and Goa. Moderate with heavy showers showed up in parts of these states in the past day.
However, the rain intensity over the coastal areas across Kerala and Karnataka was far more than as compared with the districts of the interior region.
Within the span of 24 hours as on Thursday, the districts lying in the coastal belt such as Karwar recorded heavy rains to the tune of 91.8 mm, Kannur 38 mm, Kozhikode 27 mm, Punalur 23 mm, Kochi 21 mm, and Alappuzha witnessed 19 mm of rains. In Goa, Panaji witnessed 20 mm of rains.

As per Skymet Weather, a cyclonic circulation is seen over the west central Arabian Sea off the Karnataka coast. This weather system was responsible for giving rains over Karnataka, Goa, and Kerala. As of now, this weather system may activate the offshore trough running along the West Coast.
In the wake of the activation of the offshore trough, rains are anticipated to continue over all the three states for another 2-3 days. However, again in contrast with the interior regions, the districts lying in the coastal belt will get to witness more intense showers.
