Holiday declared for anganwadis in Malnad
Sringeri in Chikkamagaluru received the highest rain of 77 mm, while Hettur in Sakleshpura in Hassan district received 180 mm of rain in the last 24 hours.
Rain caused damages in both districts on Tuesday and Wednesday. Nearly 100 metres of retaining walls constructed along National Highway-75 between Anemahal and Donigal in Sakleshpur taluk were washed away. The concrete road built a few days ago alongside the highway also developed cracks.
People are concerned that the retaining wall might collapse if the rain intensifies.
In the Malnad region of Chikkamagaluru district, NH-169 connecting Sringeri to Mangaluru was blocked after a landslide near Nemmar, close to Sringeri. However, the NHAI authorities managed to clear the mud, allowing movement of vehicles. The road was blocked a week ago following the landslip. Now, the authorities have stationed excavators to attend to emergencies.

Extreme heatwave warning in US: Temperature could reach triple digits; which states are at risk, advisory and safety tips
A dangerous heatwave is set to scorch the US Southwest this week, affecting over 80 million people, with triple-digit temperatures expected to persist through the weekend. Cities such as Phoenix may reach 112°F (44.4°C), Las Vegas 110°F (43.3°C), and Death Valley a blistering 120°F (48.8°C). The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued extreme heat warnings and advisories across California, Nevada, Arizona, and surrounding states. Experts warn that vulnerable populations—including the elderly, children, outdoor workers, and those with health conditions—face serious risks. Authorities urge residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and follow safety protocols to prevent heat-related illnesses. Heatwave states at risk in US: Areas facing dangerously high temperatures this week The extreme heatwave is primarily impacting the Desert Southwest, including Arizona, California, Nevada, and parts of Utah and New Mexico. Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, and Death Valley are forecasted to experience some of the highest temperatures, reaching or exceeding 110°F. These conditions are fueled by a strong ridge of high pressure over the Four Corners region, causing warm air to descend and persist throughout the week. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The intense heat is expected to continue through the weekend, with nights remaining unusually warm and limiting recovery from daytime temperatures. Health risks and recent fatalities due to the heatwave: Who is most vulnerable Heat poses severe threats to human health, especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children, and outdoor workers. Maricopa County, Arizona, recently reported 44 heat-related deaths. Symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke include dizziness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and confusion. Authorities urge residents to seek medical attention immediately if these symptoms occur and to check on neighbours who may be at higher risk. Prolonged exposure can also exacerbate chronic health conditions, making caution and preventative measures critical. Advisories and warnings for extreme heatwave: Government actions and alerts The NWS has issued extreme heat warnings and advisories across affected states, with many remaining in effect through the weekend. California and Nevada have red flag warnings in some areas due to increased wildfire risks. Local governments have activated cooling centers in major cities such as Los Angeles to help residents cope with the dangerous conditions. Authorities recommend monitoring official updates, as alerts may change rapidly depending on local temperatures, wildfire developments, and regional humidity levels. Safety tips during the heatwave: How residents can stay protected Residents are advised to stay indoors during peak heat hours, wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing, and drink plenty of fluids. Avoid strenuous outdoor activities during midday, and use air conditioning when possible. Checking on elderly neighbours, children, and outdoor workers is strongly recommended. Additionally, monitoring local news and NWS updates can help residents stay informed about changing weather conditions. Using sun protection such as hats and sunscreen, and ensuring pets have access to shade and water, are also critical steps to prevent heat-related emergencies.
