IMD Forecast: Bengaluru to See Heavy Showers, Coastal Karnataka Also Expected to Rain

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather update today indicating that Bengaluru is likely to receive heavy showers over the next 24 hours. The forecast also points to rainfall over coastal Karnataka, including cities such as Mangalore and Udupi. Meteorologists attribute the increased precipitation to a low‑pressure system moving across the Arabian Sea, which is expected to bring moist air into the region. Commuters in Bengaluru may face traffic disruptions as roads become slick, and authorities have advised residents to avoid non‑essential travel. Residents in coastal areas should also prepare for possible flooding in low‑lying neighborhoods.
