On Tuesday, Bangalore witnessed first spell of heavy pre-Monsoon rains, paving way for extremely pleasant weather conditions.
In span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Tuesday, the state capital has recorded 38 mm of rain, surpassing its monthly average rainfall of 18.5 mm in a day itself. Not only this, it has also broken the record of highest rains received in the span of 24 hours, which earlier stood at 22.2 on March 3, 2017.
The garden city has been witnessing rain and thundershowers of varying intensity for the last three consecutive days. As reiterated by the weathermen, these ongoing rains can be attributed to the trough running from Southeast Arabian Sea to Vidarbha region of Maharashtra across Karnataka.
Further, Skymet Weather predicts that weather conditions remain conducive for these rains to continue for another 3 days. Rains are likely to peak on March 10, wherein we can expect some moderate to heavy showers.
On Wednesday, also, we can expect light to moderate rains during the late afternoon or evening hours.
The trough continues to infuse lots of moisture in the atmosphere, which when combined with increased mercury will lead to formation of convective clouds over the region. As per the weathermen, usually such clouds develop during the latter half of the day as the temperatures peaks between 1 pm and 3 pm.
