Listen to the story
There is a weather report for Karnataka on 25 August 2026. The India Meteorological Department, or IMD, made the report. The IMD is the government office for weather.
The IMD says there is low pressure in the air. Low pressure is when the air is light and thin. This kind of weather often brings rain.
Because of this, many states in India can expect good rain. Karnataka is one of these states.
The IMD gave a yellow alert for 11 districts in Karnataka. A yellow alert means people must be careful. It tells people that heavy rain may come.
A district is a small area inside a state. Karnataka has many districts. Eleven of them will get heavy rain soon.
People in these areas should watch the news. They should be ready for rain and possible flooding. Flooding is when water covers the land.
The weather department wants people to stay safe. They should not travel in bad weather if they do not need to.
