The weather activity is being caused by an upper air cyclonic circulation located over central coastal Andhra Pradesh and nearby regions, approximately 0.9km above mean sea level. Due to this, a yellow alert has been issued for 18 districts on Monday. These include Raichur, Koppal, Gadag, Dharwad, Haveri, Davangere, Shivamogga, Chitradurga, Chikkamagaluru, Hassan, Kodagu, Mysuru, Mandya, Chamrajnagar, Ramanagara, Bengaluru Urban, Tumakuru and Kolar.
