Karnataka Weather Alert Today: Dry Conditions Persist Across State, Severe Cold Continues

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has stated that dry weather conditions will continue across coastal, southern interior, and northern interior Karnataka today. 

The state is also experiencing severe cold conditions, particularly during early morning and night hours, with no significant rainfall expected.

According to the IMD, coastal Karnataka districts including Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, and Uttara Kannada will continue to witness dry and stable weather. 

Clear skies and low humidity levels are contributing to cooler mornings, while daytime temperatures remain relatively comfortable across the coastal belt.

Several southern interior Karnataka districts such as Mysuru, Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru, Hassan, Kodagu, Chamarajanagar, Kolar, Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Ballari, Tumakuru, Chikkaballapur, Ramanagara, Mandya, Chitradurga, Davanagere, and Vijayanagar are also expected to experience dry weather. 

The absence of cloud cover has resulted in chilly mornings across these regions.

The north interior Karnataka districts, including Belagavi, Bidar, Vijayapura, Bagalkot, Haveri, Gadag, Dharwad, Kalaburagi, Koppal, Ballari, Raichur, Yadgir, and Vijayanagar, have been witnessing prolonged dry conditions for several days, which are likely to persist.
