It has also warned that the coast may receive up to 65 mm of rain during the next two days. The department, while asking the fishermen not to enter the sea, has also asked Chikmagalur, Kodagu and Shimoga district administrations to be in readiness to manage rain-related exigencies during the next two days, as it expects these districts also to get copious downpour.
