The forecast doesn't spare the interior either; Mysore, Mandya, Chamarajanagar, Kolar, and Chikkaballapur are preparing for a similar scenario.

Meanwhile, moderate rainfall with gusty winds is predicted in the districts of Ballari, Chitradurga, Davangere, Tumkur, and Vijayanagar. This milder yet still impactful weather could affect daily routines and local farming activities.
In contrast, the northern districts of Bagalkot, Belagavi, Bidar, Gadag, Kalaburgi, Koppal, Raichur, Vijayapur, and Yadgiri are expected to receive only light rain. This lighter precipitation might provide some relief from the more severe weather affecting other parts of the state.
