Udupi Receives 88.9mm Rainfall as Dakshina Kannada Records 70.1mm

Udupi District experienced a record 88.9 millimetres of rainfall in a 24‑hour period, surpassing the 70.1‑millimetre total in the adjacent Dakshina Kannada region.

The deluge, driven by a low‑pressure system moving along the western coast, caused rivers to swell and several roads to become waterlogged, leading to temporary closures and delays for commuters.

Residents in low‑lying coastal villages reported power outages and isolated flooding, while authorities urged caution and announced plans to clear drainage channels. Source: Google News – Udupi.
