Red alert issued for coastal Karnataka until Sunday
Heads up if you're in coastal Karnataka—the IMD has put out a red alert for Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, and Uttara Kannada from June 12 to 14. Expect some seriously heavy rain and winds up to 40km/h. Rainfall is already running higher than usual this year, with Dakshina Kannada seeing over 15.3mm in just one day.
Stay tuned to local updates and play it safe
This kind of weather can potentially bring flooding, landslides, and disruptions to travel plans or daily routines. If you're in a red alert area, it's smart to stay tuned to local updates and play it safe—there's also a chance of lightning strikes during these days.
Much of the state could see rough weather this week
It's not just the coast—nine districts across Karnataka are on red alert (including Belagavi and Chikkamagaluru), while others have orange or yellow alerts. Basically: much of the state could see rough weather this week.
