Heavy Rainfall Warning Issued for Dakshina Kannada and Udupi Ahead of Monsoon Surge

On June 8, Karnataka’s State Meteorological Department issued a heavy rainfall warning for the districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi as part of the monsoon season.

The forecast predicts up to 200 mm of rain in certain areas, with coastal towns such as Mangalore and Kasaragod likely to receive the heaviest showers. Meteorologists link the surge to a low‑pressure system moving across the Arabian Sea.

Emergency shelters have been opened and commuters advised to avoid low‑lying roads. Residents in flood‑prone villages are urged to stock supplies and prepare for possible evacuation. Source: Google News – Udupi.
