The Bengaluru Meteorological Center has said in its latest report that light rain is likely in various districts of the coastal and interior of the state from March 15.
Current weather condition:
According to the report of Dr. N. Puviyarasan, scientist at the Bengaluru Meteorological Center, the circulation of cyclonic winds is currently continuing in the Comorin region and its surrounding atmosphere. However, the circulation of the cyclone in the Bay of Bengal and Sri Lanka has weakened.

In the last 24 hours, the maximum temperature in many parts of coastal Karnataka has increased by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius above normal. The coastal districts will experience hot and humid weather for the next two days, and people have been advised to be cautious.
