Coastal Karnataka Remains Relatively Warmer
As expected, coastal Karnataka districts remained warmer compared to the interior regions.

The influence of the Arabian Sea is keeping the moderate temperatures along the coast, preventing extreme nighttime cooling.
Karnataka Weather Forecast: Next 3-4 Days Outlook
Looking ahead, the Karnataka weather forecast indicates largely dry conditions across most districts for the next three to four days. Daytime temperatures are expected to remain comfortable, while nights and early mornings may continue to feel cold, especially in interior districts.
One day during the mid-week period may see some cloud build-up and the possibility of a stray light shower, but widespread rainfall or strong weather disturbances are unlikely at this stage.
