A few places over the state of Karnataka have been witnessing good rains, especially the interior districts of the state for the last few days. While the state capital of Bengaluru has been recording only light rains. On the other hand, the coastal areas of Karnataka have been observing only scattered light rain and thundershowers.

Within the span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Monday, Bengaluru recorded mere rainfall of 9.2 mm, whereas Raichur recorded heavy rainfall of 54.2 mm, followed by Kallaburgi 32 mm, Vijayapuru 32 mm, Agumbe 6.2 mm, Karwar 5 mm and Mangaluru 1 mm.

These weather conditions can be attributed to a trough which is seen extending from Vidarbha up to South Interior Karnataka.
