Parts of Karnataka have been witnessing rains from the past 24 hours courtesy the weather system in the Bay of Bengal. Bengaluru’s HAL Airport recorded 104 mm of rains in the last 24 hours whereas Bengaluru city recorded 30 mm of rains.

Forecast for Bengaluru:
Although we expect moderate showers during the next one or two days over the city, by September 26 rainfall activities will drop significantly with only patchy rains in sight. Thus, we can say that these rains will not be helpful in covering up the deficiency.
For the last three days, moderate showers are being witnessed in the city. However, the last good spell was on September 17 and since then the weather has not turned dry to date. There were only three occasions when no rain was recorded by the observatory and the days were September 11, 14 and 21.
The rest of the month, light to moderate rains were a sight and the cloud cover with these light rains helped in keeping the temperature under control. The maximums most of the time were somewhere between 26°C to 28°C and on certain occasions it rose to 32°C. While the minimums were somewhere between 20°C- to 21°C.
This gives us a clear picture that mornings and nights have been cool throughout the month.
