Day of Heavy Rain: Dakshina Kannada 70.1 mm, Udupi 88.9 mm in 24 Hours

On Thursday, Udupi District saw an unusually high rainfall of 88.9 mm over a 24‑hour period, surpassing the weekly average, while the adjoining Dakshina Kannada region recorded 70.1 mm.

The cloudburst is part of a prolonged southwest monsoon wave that has battered coastal Karnataka since last week, with river levels in the Tunga and integral rivers rising, and the state Meteorological Department forecasting continued showers.

The deluge has already inundated low‑lying slums, flooded several access roads, and prompted the Udupi Sub‑Registrar to suspend public transport between Kumbla and Puvanangady. Residents are advised to avoid affected routes and stay alert. Source: Google News – Udupi.
