For the third straight day, Panaji, May 22, 2025 — The constant heavy rainfall in Goa has led the IMD to raise a red alert for the state. The warning predicts that some regions will experience very heavy rain, which should continue until Thursday, May 26.
Many Delays and Steps to Keep Passengers Safe
Since the state has been hit by continual rains, life has been greatly affected. Trees have been knocked over, wrecking some infrastructure and making many roads impassable. One person has died as a result of the harsh weather.
Because of the unsafe conditions, authorities have put in place steps to keep people safe. At this time, going to Dudhsagar Waterfall and areas for trekking has been stopped. The Forest Minister urges people not to go near waterfalls, trekking routes, or other potentially hazardous spots right now.
How the Travel Industry Changes How We Commute
Roads and everyday life in Goa have been badly disrupted by the recent heavy rains, roads have become rivers, sweeping away vehicles. Flight operations have also been disrupted, with several flights experiencing delays or cancellations due to the adverse weather conditions.
The current weather has caused delays, and some flights were not able to operate.
Forecasts and Predictions
The IMD says that intense pre-monsoon activity is caused by a block of low pressure over the east-central Arabian Sea near the north Karnataka-Goa coast. Intense conditions are forecast, resulting in additional heavy rain, thunderstorms, and windy weather.
The recommendations are for residents and tourists to pay close attention and follow any safety advisories put out by local officials. Particularly, fishermen have been cautioned not to enter the sea since severe conditions are creating high waves.
Conclusion
The emphasis is still on maintaining public safety and causing as few interruptions as possible as Goa struggles with the torrential rains. During this time of extreme weather, authorities are keeping a careful eye on the situation and have advised everyone to be aware and use caution.
