The northern interior of Karnataka is also likely to experience low temperatures. This sudden change in weather is attributed to a shift in atmospheric conditions, which has brought in the cold, along with the influence of low pressure in the Bay of Bengal.
Weather experts also anticipate that the temperature will continue to drop in several parts of the state. Dense fog has already affected visibility in many regions of the country, and this will likely continue in the coming days, with dense fog reported in the plains. Hilly areas are experiencing temperatures between -4 to -8 degrees Celsius.
