A low-pressure area is expected to form over the Southeast Arabian Sea and Lakshadweep region around August 18th, bringing rain to parts of Kerala and Coastal Karnataka.

Moderate showers are likely in these areas, with heavy rainfall at isolated spots on August 18th and 19th.

The system is expected to move northward, potentially reaching the coast near Karnataka on the 19th and Goa by the 20th.

However, it may weaken as it approaches the Konkan coast. People should prepare for rough sea conditions and stay updated on any further developments.
