The IMD attributed the ongoing rainfall to two major weather systems. One is an upper air cyclonic circulation over Marathwada and the other is a trough extending from this system up to coastal Andhra Pradesh via Telangana. Additionally, a previous cyclonic system over the Bay of Bengal has now merged with another over southern Bangladesh, leading to widespread showers across Karnataka.

As per the forecast, heavy to very heavy rainfall, along with strong winds (40–50 kmph), is likely over coastal and north interior Karnataka. Bengaluru and other parts of south interior Karnataka may receive light to moderate rain over the next few days.
