IMD Predicts Heavy Rain Across Karnataka for Next Week; Yellow Alert Issued for Coastal Districts
By ETF Desk
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a forecast warning that heavy rainfall is expected across Karnataka for the next seven days. This alert includes a yellow warning for the state’s coastal districts such as Udupi, which indicates a higher likelihood of flooding and waterlogging.
Historically, the region experiences intense monsoon activity during this period, with low pressure systems moving in from the Arabian Sea. The IMD’s warning follows several days of above‑normal rainfall, and meteorologists have noted that the atmospheric conditions are conducive to sustained heavy showers over the peninsula.
Authorities in Udupi and surrounding districts have urged residents to monitor official updates, avoid travelling on low‑lying roads, and secure loose outdoor items. Local government agencies are preparing emergency response teams and reinforcing flood‑control measures. Source: Google News – Udupi.
