Monsoon Returns with Day-Long Rain over Udupi and Dakshina Kannada

Monsoon clouds rolled over Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts, delivering continuous rain from dawn to dusk on Tuesday, 22 June, according to local weather reports.

Meteorologists noted the unusual persistence of the monsoon over the Karnataka coast, a shift from the usual patchy showers that typically front the region. The sustained precipitation has tested the drainage infrastructure and increased the water tables, raising concerns among residents and local government officials.

The all-day downpour caused widespread waterlogging in low-lying areas, led to the suspension of several bus routes, and prompted road closures near Gandhinagar and Nargund. Authorities have advised commuters to exercise caution and keep abreast of further advisories. Source: Google News – Udupi.
