In the wake of this, the weather conditions over these two regions would continue to remain dry. Sky would also continue to remain bright and sunny. On account of the dry weather over these two regions, the temperatures may rise again.

In Konkan & Goa, the maximums would continue to remain in lower 30’s. The night temperatures, on the other hand, may register a marginal fall due to the prevalence of northerly and northeasterly winds.
