The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a heavy rain advisory covering Udupi district and neighboring Uttara Kannada. Forecasts indicate persistent showers throughout the week, with the risk of localized flooding and waterlogging.
Historically, this part of coastal Karnataka experiences intense monsoon activity during June and early July. Similar conditions last month led to several road closures and temporary suspension of ferry services between Udupi and Kasaragod.
Local authorities are urging residents to secure loose objects, avoid low‑lying areas, and keep emergency supplies on hand. Road traffic is expected to be affected, especially on NH 66 and the coastal bypass. Farmers are warned to protect their crops from water damage. Source: Google News – Udupi.
