Goa experienced unexpected showers on Tuesday evening due to sudden cloud formations caused by increased heating of land.

Agriculture officials said that though the mango crop will not be affected much as most the fruit has been harvested, they said that banana plantations could be hit due to the heavy winds accompanying the showers. "Mango prices are unlikely to be affected due to the showers as most of the fruit has been harvested already," said Ulhas Pai Kakode, deputy director of agriculture (farming).

Officials said that they have received complaints of damage to banana plantations across Goa on Tuesday due to the winds accompanying the showers.

The officials said that crops like chillies are, in fact, expected to have benefitted from the sudden showers, chillies grown in interiors of Goa often suffer from lack of adequate irrigation facilities.
