As per the experts, the Trough is likely to move further eastward. The southwesterly moist winds from the Arabian Sea are also reaching over Karnataka and Kerala. In the last 24 hours, scattered moderate rains were seen over Karnataka with light to moderate over Kerala while the temperature remained below normal over these states. In the next 24 hours, widespread light to moderate rain and thundershowers is very likely over South Karnataka and Kerala with mainly light over North Karnataka.
