Indian Meteorological Department has said that squally weather with wind speed reaching 50 to 60 kilometres per hour is likely to prevail along Goa, South Maharashtra and Karnataka coast till the 6th of this month.



Fishermen are advised not to venture into these areas during till 6th of August.


According to IMD Panaji, North and South Goa are likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall till the 6th of this month.


The rain will be very heavy at some places and very, very heavy at isolated places. After this period the intensity of rain is likely to decline. 


Paroda has an annual recurring problem during monsoon. The bridge in the village gets flooded during heavy rains.


A proposal to raise the bridge or place pipes to create more outlets for water to pass gathers dust.


Panchayat members say their MLA was elected around three years back but failed to do anything to rectify the annual flooding.


Flooding in Panaji's Patto Plaza is a perennial problem. The area was once paddy fields but has not been filled up properly for development.


As a result the area experiences water -logging during monsoon.
