Bengaluru: Incessant rains have triggered waterlogging in several areas of the Karnataka capital Bengaluru. These areas include the Bakshi Garden and Cottonpet areas. The India Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rainfall in several urban and rural districts of the capital city, issuing an orange alert warning. The weather office said the city will receive rains for the next 3-4 days.
The weather office has also predicted rains in several coastal and interior districts of southern India, including Medijeri, Chikmanglur, Wayanad and Kovlam. The body said a cyclonic circulation over Kerala and neighbouring states would trigger inclement weather.
"Fairly widespread to widespread light/moderate rainfall with isolated thunderstorm/ lightning/ gusty winds very likely over Kerala-Mahe, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Lakshadweep and Rayalaseema during next five days," IMD said in a series of tweets on Tuesday.
