BENGALURU: The city is expected to receive light showers on Friday and Saturday, while rainfall may be isolated elsewhere in the state over the next three days under the influence of the easterly trough.
The easterly trough is wind moving from the west to the east to form a trough (circulation) to bring in rainfall. Coastal Karnataka is likely to receive isolated rain till February 20, while north-interior parts of the state are expected to get showers from February 18 to 20 and south-interior till February 21.
Due to cloudy sky, minimum temperature in the city is likely to rise by a degree or two. IMD director C S Patil said, “Rain won’t be widespread, so we cannot say which are the districts that will receive showers. The weather will be dry and temperature will vary between 18 and 32 degrees Celsius.”
