Panaji, Jul 15 (Zee News): The Indian Meteorological department announced on Friday that southern coastal state Goa is expected to witness heavy rainfall in the next two days and asked the fishermen to not venture into the sea in this time.
"Goa has recorded 1,198 mm rainfall till date during the current season which is against the expected figure of 1,384 mm resulting in 13 per cent less rainfall compared to the normal," Rahul M, senior scientist with IMD's Goa office said.
He said though the rainfall is 13 per cent less, we cannot say there is deficient rainfall as plus or minus 20 per cent is considered as a normal.
