First week of May saw a significant difference in rainfall patterns across Karnataka's coastal districts. While Dakshina Kannada reported moderate precipitation, Udupi district benefited from a generous shower accumulation.
The amount of water collected in the region's numerous lakes and reservoirs is presently within safe limits, allowing irrigation schedules to proceed without delay. Meteorological experts attribute the variance to localized cloud formations influenced by the Arabian Sea.
Farmers in Udupi are pleased as the steady rains have sustained the growth of paddy and coconut plantations, though the moderate rainfall in Dakshina Kannada has left some orange growers wary. The Regional Meteorology Centre expects the trend to stabilize over the coming weeks. Source: Google News – Udupi.
