The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted varied weather conditions across Karnataka in the coming days. While Bengaluru and the southern parts of the state are expected to experience heavy pre-monsoon rainfall, northern Karnataka is likely to face intense heatwave conditions. According to the department, the state will see above-normal rainfall in addition to extreme temperatures between March and May. The department has issued a heatwave warning for the northeastern districts, urging residents to take necessary precautions. Although the heat will be at its highest in March, the IMD predicted that it might progressively subside in April and May and disperse more uniformly throughout North Karnataka. The IMD has predicted that there will be cloudy weather throughout the day. Due to the cloudy condition, daytime appears to be cool and night warmer than the average as the cloudy conditions trap the radiating heat from the ground, IMD said in a report. With temperatures rising between 43°C and 45°C in March,. the hot and dry weather is expected to persist in Karnataka’s northeastern regions.
