Heavy Rain Forecast for Dakshina Kannada & Udupi; Fishermen Urged to Stay Safe

A monsoon surge has prompted the India Meteorological Department to predict heavy rainfall across Dakshina Kannada and Udupi for the next 72 hours, according to a bulletin released on Sunday.

The SPM issued a specific advisory for the coastal districts, urging fishermen to avoid sea travel and reminding them to seek shelter, as rough waves and strong currents are expected in the Arabian Sea amid the incoming rainfall.

Local fishermen and coastal communities are advised to stay alert and heed government warnings, as prolonged showers could lead to flooding and hazardous sea conditions that could jeopardise their safety and livelihoods. Source: Google News – Udupi.
