FollowThe Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for the state of Karnataka, predicting heavy rainfall over the next three days, from November 7 to November 9. This weather warning encompasses several districts, including those in the southern hinterland, coastal areas, and the northern hinterland.

The meteorological report anticipates light to moderate rain and thundershowers across most parts of the southern interior, coastal regions, and the northern interior of Karnataka. However, the heavy rain is likely to be concentrated in specific areas, including coastal Uttara Kannada district, northern inland Gadag, Haveri districts, south inland Bangalore city, Bangalore countryside, Mysore, Mandya, and Chikkaballapur districts. Additionally, heavy rain is expected in select parts of the Chitradurga, Davangere, and Tumkur districts in the southern hinterland over the next two days.
