Intermittent Showers Alleviate Heat Across Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Kodagu

Morning skies over Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, and Kodagu were dotted with cumulus clouds as several brief showers rolled in, providing a welcome respite from the sweltering heat. The storms, which began around 6 a.m. and settled by early noon, scattered rainfall across coastal and hilly regions in a patchy pattern.

According to local meteorological stations and the latest advisories, the intermittent rainfall is expected to continue into the late afternoon, with the National Remote Sensing Centre predicting moderate cloud cover over the next 24 hours. The precipitations have already dampened the air, offering relief to residents and tourists alike, but the scattered nature of the showers raises concerns for smallholders in the district.

While the short bursts of rain ease the oppressive heat, farm owners warn of potential crop damage and waterlogging, especially in low‑lying fields and along the Surathkal–Mangalore corridor. Authorities are cautioning farmers to take preventive measures and remain alert to sudden dumps. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
