Sikkim is expected to see similar weather, with periods of heavy rainfall from June 20 to 22 after an early forecast of widespread mild to moderate rainfall.

Widespread Rain Likely In Goa, Konkan, Gujarat

For the next five days, Gujarat, Konkan and Goa, Madhya Maharashtra, and Marathwada will experience scattered to fairly widespread light to moderate rainfall along with thunderstorms and lightning due to another cyclonic circulation that is situated over the Northeast Arabian Sea, which borders Saurashtra, and the West Central Bay of Bengal, which borders Coastal Andhra Pradesh. On June 20 and 21, isolated, intense rainfall is predicted across Gujarat, the Konkan and Goa, and the Madhya Maharashtra ghat regions.

On June 22, IMD issued a yellow alert in eight more districts and an orange alert in Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur, and Kasaragod.
