Bengaluru: Yellow alert has been issued across 13 districts in Karnataka, including Bengaluru, due to anticipated heavy rainfall and stormy conditions over the next six days.
According to Dr. N Puviarasan, a scientist from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), a trough or wind discontinuity is extending from Marathwada to the Comorin area across interior Karnataka and Kerala, at an altitude of 0.9 km above mean sea level.
This suggests that districts like Kodagu, Hassan, Shivamogga, and Mysuru should be ready for gusty winds and heavy rain in the upcoming days, he said.
Moderate rainfall is also expected in several other districts, including Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Belagavi, Vijayapura, Chikkaballapura, Dharwad, Bagalkot, Ballari, Gadag, Bengaluru Rural and Urban, Kolar, Chamarajanagar, Chikkamagaluru, Chitradurga, Mandya, Davangere, Tumakuru, Ramanagara, Vijayanagara, Haveri, Koppal, Bidar, Kalaburgi, Raichur, and Yadgir.
