Thundershowers will begin in sub-ghat coastal regions including Kasaragod, and the northeast monsoon will bring good rainfall to Malenadu districts like Kodagu starting October 15.
While North Interior Karnataka will experience dry weather initially with slightly less rainfall, intense thundershowers will begin on October 15 in border areas with Telangana, Andhra, and Tamil Nadu, spreading to most districts by October 16.
