Temperatures also remained mostly under check during the month of May. So much so that the maximum temperature even dropped to 28.4 degrees, which is 5 degrees below the normal levels. May ended on a dry note for Bangalore as no rains were recorded on May 31 over the city.
However, as June crept in, rain gods decided to bestow their kindness on the pleasant weather city once again. Thus, June began on a rainy note for the garden city of India. During the last 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday, June 1, Bangalore recorded 20 mm of rain.
While the Bangalore observatory recorded a mere 20 mm of rain, several other areas received heavy rains. Strong winds accompanied by rains also resulted in the uprooting of many trees and electric poles over some areas. Also, waterlogging was witnessed over many parts of the city with houses being flooded in low lying areas.
Currently, Monsoon surge is active over Kerala and some parts of Coastal Karnataka as well. Also, a cyclonic circulation is over Southwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining Andhra Pradesh. Due to the combination of these two weather features interior parts of Tamil Nadu and South Interior Karnataka has been receiving rains.
During the next few days, on and off rains will continue to lash Bangalore resulting in comfortable weather conditions over the city. Residents of Bangalore can now bid adieu to the scorching summer conditions as rains will continue over the silicon city.
