Heavy rain accompanied with lightning and thunder batters parts of Dakshina Kannada

The rain brought much relief from the sweltering heat. Waterlogged roads in different parts of Mangaluru in Karnataka caused inconvenience to motorists.
 

Mangaluru: Heavy rains lashed many parts of Mangaluru in Karnataka on Sunday (May 17) and resumed with more intensity early morning on Monday (May 18) since the downpour has been continuing. The clouds were so dark that the drivers were forced to switch on the headlights while driving vehicles in the morning. 

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has attributed this phenomenon to low pressure areas formed over the Bay of Bengal. It has predicted copious rains to continue in the coast for two more days. The IMD has issued a yellow alert in coastal Karnataka till May 19 morning. Bantwal, Beltangady, Karkala, Siddapur in Kundapur, Sulya, Uppinagadi taluk, and many parts of Udupi district have been getting rainfall.
