What happened
The India Meteorological Department is monitoring weather patterns in southern Karnataka. Reports indicate the South-West monsoon withdrawal is slow, with heavy rain continuing across the South Peninsula, including parts of Karnataka and Kerala. Low-pressure systems have caused intense rainfall in areas like Uttara Kannada.
Why it matters
The transition between the retreating South-West monsoon and the advancing North-East monsoon is creating complex weather patterns. These conditions are influencing rainfall deficits and temperature trends in regions like Bengaluru.
