Monsoon 2018 all set to revive and Karnataka will be one of its beneficiaries. Rains have been on the lower side for the last few days, although many districts of North Interior Karnataka have been receiving scattered to moderate showers for since last two to three days.

According to Skymet Weather, a Well-Marked Low-Pressure area over North Central Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a Depression. In fact, it might induce a Deep Depression. It is likely to move in west direction towards Central India. Moreover, a cyclonic circulation is also seen over Northeast Arabian Sea and that trough is extending up to Coastal Karnataka.

These two weather systems would enhance the rain activities over Karnataka and we expect few good spells of rain over many parts of the state until September 21. Weathermen are predicting moderate to heavy rain and thundershower with strong winds over Bagalkot, Bangalore, Belgaum, Bellary, Bijapur, Chamarajanagar, Chikkaballapura, Chikmagalur, Chitradurga, Dakshina Kannada, Davanagere, Dharwad, Gadag, Gulbarga, Hassan, Haveri, Kodagu, Kolar, Koppal, Mandya, Mysore, Raichur, Ramanagara, Shimoga, Tumkur, Udupi, Uttara Kannada, and Yadgir the districts of Karnataka during next 48 hours.   

Karnataka is divided into three parts: Coastal Karnataka, which has received normal rainfall till date, South Interior Karnataka which is surplus by 4% and North Interior Karnataka which is rain deficient in 21%. These good rains are likely to decrease the rain deficiency over North Interior Karnataka.
