Rain coming: Bengaluru to be drenched in heavy rain, gusty winds to accompany
Forecasters have warned that sudden bursts of high-intensity rainfall could trigger waterlogging in low-lying pockets of the city, especially in areas already prone to poor drainage.
After days of warm and humid weather, Bengaluru is likely to witness intense evening thunderstorms on Tuesday, with weather experts warning of heavy rain, gusty winds and even isolated hailstorms across parts of the city.
According to weather observers, conditions have become highly favourable for moderate to heavy rainfall and thundershowers between 5:30 pm and 9:30 pm. Gusty winds accompanying the storms could also sweep across several neighbourhoods, raising the possibility of tree falls, traffic disruption and localised damage.
Forecasters have warned that sudden bursts of high-intensity rainfall could trigger waterlogging in low-lying pockets of the city, especially in areas already prone to poor drainage. Residents have been advised to remain alert while travelling during the evening hours.
The expected rainfall activity is part of a larger pre-monsoon weather pattern currently developing over southern India. During this phase, intense daytime heating combines with moisture-laden winds, creating unstable atmospheric conditions that often lead to evening thunderstorms.
Bengaluru has already witnessed multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms in recent days, bringing temporary relief from rising temperatures but also exposing the city’s drainage vulnerabilities. Several roads across the tech hub have experienced flooding after short periods of intense rainfall, slowing traffic and affecting daily commuters.
Weather experts say today’s storm system could be particularly strong because of the ideal combination of moisture, wind movement and atmospheric instability over the region.
Along with heavy rain, isolated hailstorms may also occur in some parts of the city and surrounding districts.
The showers are expected to bring a noticeable drop in temperatures after sunset, but weather experts caution that the storms could become severe for short periods, especially in isolated pockets.
With dark clouds already building over the city through the afternoon, Bengaluru could be heading for another dramatic evening of thunder, lightning and heavy rain.
