This system gave extremely heavy rains over the coastal districts on May 29 leading to flooding in Mangaluru.
The rain intensity is expected to pick up the pace once again over North Interior Karnataka by May 5 or May 6. Until then, Monsoon will cover most parts of Karnataka. During that time, Bengaluru will receive Monsoon rains.
