As meteorological patterns shift, a notable trough in easterly winds has emerged, stretching from the Comorin area to the Westcentral Bay of Bengal off the Andhra Pradesh coast in lower tropospheric levels. This weather phenomenon is set to bring about significant changes in the southern and western regions of India, with anticipated rainfall patterns and potential consequences.

- Coastal Karnataka: On the 23rd of November, anticipate rainfall, particularly in the form of light to moderate showers.
- South Interior Karnataka: Rainfall is expected on the 23rd and 24th of November, with the likelihood of light to moderate showers.
Regional Impact:
The influence of this easterly trough is not limited to the southern regions. Scattered to few places in Central India and the West Coast are predicted to experience light to moderate rainfall during the period from the 24th to the 27th of November.
Cautionary Measures:
Given the forecast, residents in the affected areas are advised to take precautionary measures. Authorities should be vigilant, particularly in regions where heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected, to mitigate potential risks associated with flooding or landslides.
