The coastal belt, including Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts, is expected to receive light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorms from May 26 to May 29.
According to the weather department, the southwest monsoon is gradually advancing and atmospheric conditions are becoming favourable for further progress over parts of the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and nearby regions in the coming days. This increase in moisture is likely to enhance rainfall activity across Karnataka.
