PANAJI: According to the India Meteorological Department’s latest seasonal forecast, Goa is set to stay clear of heatwave conditions during the upcoming summer months of April through June. While temperatures are anticipated to be slightly above normal, the state will not be part of the main heatwave-prone zones, providing a measure of relief amid rising temperatures in other regions.
The IMD’s outlook highlights that many areas in India, particularly in central and northern parts, may experience more frequent and intense heatwaves. In contrast, Goa’s coastal location and the moderating effects of maritime influences are likely to keep extreme heat at bay.
Though the state might still encounter warm and humid weather, the likelihood of prolonged and severe heat is low. This means Goa residents can expect relatively milder conditions compared to the more intense heatwaves expected inland.
Nonetheless, officials advise caution during the hottest parts of the day, as elevated temperatures and humidity could still lead to discomfort and heat-related issues. They also note that occasional cloud cover and pre-monsoon activity could help mitigate any severe heat episodes in the coastal region over the next few months.
