Now monsoon rainfall activity will take a break for about two days over Coastal Karnataka but revive again around June 18. Thus, since the beginning of the next week itself, Coastal Karnataka will see very heavy rains.
These rains will occur in association with cyclonic circulation which is seen over East Central Arabian sea in the middle levels. It is expected to move closer to the coast, become more marked and trickle downward giving rains over Karnataka.
