Bengaluru: Dry weather is likely over all districts of Karnataka from November 14 to 18, the Meteorological Centre in Bengaluru said in its daily weather report issued on Saturday, even as a low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal is expected to intensify into a cyclonic storm.
Dry weather prevailed over the state in the observations recorded at 8.30 am, and no significant rainfall was recorded, the report said.
The well-marked low-pressure area over the southeast Bay of Bengal persisted over the same region on Saturday. It is very likely to move northwestwards and intensify into a depression over the same region during the next 24 hours, and then move north-northwestwards and intensify further into a cyclonic storm over the central parts of the south and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal around the evening of November 16, according to the report.
An east-west trough extending up to 1.5 km above mean sea level from the cyclonic circulation associated with the low-pressure area persists, the report said. An upper-air cyclonic circulation lies over south Tamil Nadu and its neighbourhood at 3.1 km above mean sea level, while the one over the east-central Arabian Sea and the northern parts of Lakshadweep has become less marked.
For the five days from November 14 to 18, dry weather is likely over coastal Karnataka, north interior Karnataka and south interior Karnataka, including Bengaluru Urban and Bengaluru Rural, the forecast said.
On November 19, light rain is likely at one or two places over Kolar, Chikkaballapura and Tumakuru districts in south interior Karnataka, while dry weather is likely over coastal and north interior Karnataka, according to the forecast.
The minimum temperature is expected to fall over the next four days and rise gradually over the three days after that, the report said.
