"The circulation off-Maharashtra is getting stronger and is drifting towards south Konkan and Goa region which has created this cloudy condition. It is likely to rain in next 48 hours in several parts of the state," Singh said.
Goa over the last 15 days has witnessed frequent heavy showers, which is a departure from the state's standard monsoon pattern.
"We have recorded 191.7 mm rains in this month alone," Singh said.
The Goa ODI which is being held at the Fatorda Stadium, 40 km from here, could help the Australian cricket team tie the three match series 1-1, with India having already taken a 1-0 lead. The first ODI at Kochi was cancelled due to heavy rains.
