Cold wave likely in parts of north interior Karnataka: IMD
Bengaluru (PTI): Cold wave conditions are likely to prevail over parts of north interior Karnataka over the next 24 hours, the IMD said on Saturday.
The weather agency said minimum temperatures were below normal by three to six degrees Celsius at a few places over interior Karnataka, while fog was reported at isolated locations.
Cold wave conditions were observed in Vijayapura during the past 24 hours, according to the bulletin.
Meanwhile, a depression over the southwest Bay of Bengal, lying off the northeast Sri Lanka coast in the morning, is moving west-northwestwards and is unlikely to have a direct impact on Karnataka’s rainfall pattern.
According to the India Meteorological Department, the system moved west-northwestwards at a speed of about 15 kmph during the past six hours and was centred at 8.30 am.
It is very likely to continue moving in the same direction and cross the north Sri Lanka coast between Trincomalee and Jaffna, close to Mullaittivu, by the afternoon.
Largely dry weather is forecast across most regions of the state over the coming days, the IMD added.
Light rain is likely at one or two places over Tumakuru, Chikkaballapura, Kolar, Bengaluru Rural, Bengaluru Urban, Ramanagara, Mandya, Mysuru, Chamarajanagara and Kodagu districts.
Dry weather is likely to prevail over Ballari, Chikkamagaluru, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Hassan, Shivamogga and Vijayanagara districts, it added.

Trump tells Fox News he's no longer sending Witkoff, Kushner to Pakistan for Iran talks
Islamabad (AP): President Donald Trump says he told top US envoys not to travel to Pakistan to negotiate with Iran, telling Fox News that "they can call us anytime they want.”
In a brief phone interview Saturday, Trump told Fox News that he told US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner “you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing.”
Trump also said of the US side “we have all the cards.”
His comments came after the White House said Friday that Witkoff and Kushner would be heading to Pakistan for another round of negotiations with Iran.
