A few districts in coastal, North Interior and South Interior Karnataka including Bengaluru witnessed a few spells of rains.

Besides, an upper air circulation and trough extending from Uttar Pradesh to Karnataka resulting in light to moderate rainfall in isolated places over the next five-days,” a senior meteorologist from IMD, Bengaluru told DH.
