Heavy rainfall causes chaos in Karnataka

Karnataka is seeing some serious downpours as the southwest monsoon picks up again. The IMD has put several districts on red alert, with Bengaluru under a yellow alert and coastal areas on orange alert. Expect waterlogging and travel delays as the rain continues.

TL;DR

'Very heavy rainfall' likely in coastal, north interior Karnataka

The IMD says "heavy to very heavy rainfall" is likely, along with winds up to 60km/h—so flooding and local damage are real risks. Coastal and north interior Karnataka will get hit hardest through June 17, especially places like Belagavi and Dharwad. If you're in these areas, it's smart to stay updated and plan ahead for wet days.
