Rain on the way for Bengaluru; IMD issues ‘yellow’ alert after a week of clear skies

In a recent weather update, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a ‘yellow’ alert for Bengaluru, Karnataka. After a week of clear blue skies, the city is expected to experience pleasant weather, but rain is all set to make a comeback soon.
Let’s find out more about the weather in Bengaluru:
Sunny start
After experiencing a sunny golden start on Monday, Bengaluru will welcome clear skies and pleasant weather, with the IMD predicting a high of 33°C during the day and a low of around 22°C at night. From April 21 to April 24, the city will see a short break from the recent rainfall, with clear skies continuing throughout these days. The maximum temperature is expected to stay around 33°C, while the minimum will hover near 22°C.
Yellow alert issued by IMD
However, the IMD has issued a yellow alert for Bengaluru on Monday. This advisory indicates that the weather may unexpectedly change. So residents are requested to stay alert, particularly following the disruptions caused by recent rainfall. A yellow alert typically serves as a precautionary measure, alerting the public to be ready for potential weather changes.
Rain predicted for April 25 and 26
As the week progresses, the weather will shift. The IMD predicts that Bengaluru will experience rainfall on April 25 and 26, bringing a welcome break from the heat. Daytime temperatures will remain around 33°C, but the evening temperatures may dip slightly to 21°C, offering some respite from the daytime warmth.
Disruptions created by the rain
Over the past week, Bengaluru has experienced unexpected rainfall, which caused waterlogging on the roads and led to significant traffic congestion in various parts of the city. These conditions disrupted daily routines and caused difficulties for commuters. While clear weather is expected at the start of the week, residents should brace for possible rainfall towards the end, which may provide some relief from the recent heat.
While Bengaluru enjoys clear weather to begin the week, residents should prepare for potential disruptions due to rain on April 25 and 26. Staying updated with weather forecasts will help in better planning for the week ahead.
