Bengaluru, Nov 8: Coastal Karnataka's Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts are set to get a much-needed respite from the recent spell of unseasonal and cyclone-induced heavy rainfall, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) ruling out heavy rain warnings across the state.

According to the latest forecast, isolated parts of Udupi and Dakshina Kannada may receive light showers, while Uttara Kannada is expected to remain dry. The weakening of the cyclonic system over the Bay of Bengal has also contributed to a decline in rainfall activity across Karnataka, paving the way for cooler weather.

The changing weather pattern is expected to bring a noticeable chill, particularly during the early morning and night hours. However, Bengaluru and some parts of South Interior Karnataka may continue to experience cloudy conditions and isolated spells of rain accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Bengaluru is expected to experience pleasant and relatively cool weather over the next 24 hours.

Rain forecast: Bengaluru Urban and Bengaluru Rural districts may receive moderate rain or light showers accompanied by thunderstorms during the evening or night.
