Heavy Rain Forecast for Dakshina Kannada & Udupi; Fishermen Urged to Guard Rows

Heavy rainfall is expected to sweep across Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts over the next 72 hours, according to the Indian Meteorological Department.

The forecast indicates persistent showers, with chances of thunderstorms and high winds that could damage fishing gear and disrupt coastal livelihoods. Authorities have warned local fishermen to take protective measures for their vessels.

Strong winds and irregular currents pose risks to boats and their crews, while the brackish water can erode shorelines, potentially leading to property damage and economic losses for the fishing community. Source: Google News – Udupi.
