A low-pressure system over the Arabian Sea is moving westward, while another is likely to form over the Bay of Bengal, which is expected to enhance rainfall activity across coastal Karnataka, officials said.

Heavy showers on Sunday evening led to traffic congestion at Pumpwell in Mangaluru as rainwater accumulated on the roads due to poor drainage, causing inconvenience to commuters. The recurring waterlogging issue at Pumpwell has once again drawn criticism and humorous posts on social media.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) has issued a yellow alert for seven districts — Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Chikkamagaluru, Chamarajanagar, Hassan, Kodagu, and Mysuru — warning of heavy rainfall until October 21.
