State Meteorological Department official told IANS here, "Red alert had been sounded in 10 districts across the coastal, and northern regions of the state, as heavy rains are predicted to lash the area over the next 2-3 days due to low pressure and strong winds."
The 10 districts are Bagalkot, Belagavi, Dharwad, Gadag, Haveri, Kalaburagi, Raichur and Vijayapura in the north region and Dakshina Kannada and Uttara Kannada in the coastal region.
"As the southwest monsoon has extended beyond September, the state received 38 per cent excess rainfall over the last two weeks, at 104 mm as against 76 mm average from October 1-14 morning," the official said.
"The coastal region received 57 per cent excess rainfall, at 172 mm against average 110 mm. On Tuesday, 74 mm rainfall was recorded against 5.3 mm average," the official said.
"The heavy rains and strong surface winds wreaked havoc in the affected districts, with water overflowing roads and bridges, uprooting several trees and electric poles and causing water-logging in towns and villages," said the official.
The overflowing Doni river has disrupted vehicular traffic on bridges in Bagalkot district while incessant rains damaged 130 houses in Vijayapura district.
Rain had also damaged kharif crops awaiting harvesting this month. Horticulture and floriculture were also affected as excess water in the fields spoiled vegetables and fruits and flowers.
According to the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC), Bidar, Kalaburagi and Yadgir were the worst affected, as streams were in spate with many lakes overflowing and inundating villages.
The monsoon was vigorous over coastal and northern and active over southern areas of the state during the last 24 hours.
Moderate to heavy rains and thunder-showers likely to occur at most places over coastal and northern areas and at many places over southern parts of the state over the next 48 rains.
