Madikeri, Oct. 23: Kodagu district has been facing the monsoon season since the end of May this year, and now the month of October has reached its end, but the rain is still continuing. The people of the district, who have been experiencing continuous rain for many months, are in a state of distress.
More than 300 inches of heavy rain has already fallen in many places in the district and 200 to 250 inches in many others, leaving people in such areas wondering when the rainy season will end and some sunshine will be seen. The continuous rain is having adverse effects, especially on the coffee crop, which is the backbone of the district's economy. The current untimely rain is increasing the anxiety of the growers. Arabica coffee is already ripening, and coffee shedding is increasing. Robusta coffee is also facing a problem due to the current rain. This weather is hindering the work of the plantations, and the growers are looking forward to sunny weather.
The Swathi rain star is starting from Ta.24 (today). This time, there has been excessive rain in all the rain stars that started the monsoon season, and only 2 months are left for the end of 2025. Even in this situation, the daily rains are worrying due to the abnormal weather. It has been raining every day in the district for the last few days. Even during this period, the rains with thunder and lightning seem to be an exception for the coffee-dependent district.
