Dabolim recorded 117 millimetres of rainfall, easing the intense heat that had persisted across the region.
Dabolim, a town in Goa, received a measured 117 mm of rain, according to the Indian Meteorological Department. The downpour arrived after several consecutive days of sweltering temperatures that had pushed daily highs well above the comfort zone.
The sudden showers brought immediate cooling, lowering ambient temperatures and providing respite to residents and commuters who had been coping with heat‑related discomfort. Local authorities reported a noticeable drop in temperature within hours of the rain.
Officials also noted that the rainfall will help replenish nearby water tanks and reservoirs, offering short‑term relief to water‑stress conditions that often follow prolonged heat waves in the region.
