Heavy to Very Heavy Rain Forecast for DK and Udupi Districts Over Next Four Days

Forecasts from the India Meteorological Department warn of increasingly heavy to very heavy rain over Dakshina Kannada (DK) and Udupi districts over the next 96 hours, as a cyclonic disturbance approaches from the Arabian Sea.

Historically, this period of the monsoon brings substantial rainfall, but this year’s system is expected to be larger and more disjointed, leading to high variance in rainfall across the coastal belt. Meteorologists predict peak intensities in the western coastal corridors, with inland towns experiencing prolonged downpours.

The forecast has prompted local authorities to issue early warnings, mobilise flood response teams and advise residents to secure property and avoid unnecessary travel. Roads in the high‑rainfall zones have been reported to be frequently water‑logged, and fishermen are cautioned about rough sea conditions. The sudden influx of water could impact agriculture, water supply, and the transport network. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
