The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an ‘Orange Alert’ for heatwave conditions for 17 districts in Karnataka. The alert is effective until May 2, 2024, it said.
According to the Meteorological Department, hot winds are expected to sweep through many parts of the state during this period.
The districts placed under the orange alert for Heatwave warning include Bidar, Kalaburagi, Vijayapura, Yadagiri, Raichur, Bagalkote, Belagavi, Gadag, Haveri, Koppal, Ballari, Vijayanagar, Davangere, Chitradurga, Tumkur, Kolar, and Chikkaballapura.
Coastal regions, particularly Uttara Kannada, Dakshina Kannada, and Udupi, are also predicted to experience the brunt of the rising temperatures.
