The Indian Meteorological Department has forecast heavy rainfall across Karnataka for the next seven days.
Coastal districts like Dakshina Kannada, Uttara Kannada, and Udupi can expect heavy rain with winds of 30-40 kmph, while Belagavi in north interior Karnataka may experience heavy rain with wind speeds of 40-50 kmph.
South interior districts such as Chikkamagaluru, Hassan, Shivamogga, and Kodagu may see heavy to very heavy rainfall on certain days, with 'extremely heavy rain' possible at isolated places.
The weather is influenced by the monsoon trough passing through central and eastern India, along with an offshore trough along the Maharashtra-Karnataka coast.
