Heavy rains have returned to Bengaluru, with the capital city recording 61 mm of rain in a span of 24 hours from 8:30 am on Wednesday.
Intense showers were observed during morning hours today which have led to waterlogging and traffic chaos in many parts of the city. And the residents are struggling commuting to office, college, and school at present.
The meteorologists at Skymet have predicted more significant showers for the capital city. Mainly moderate in intensity, these rains would continue for the next two to three days. One or two intense spells cannot be ruled out.
These rains are a result of a Cyclonic Circulation over Rayalaseema in the lower levels and a Trough is extending up to Tamil Nadu across South Interior Karnataka from this system.
As these systems would persist for some more time, good rain and thundershower activities would continue until October 6 or 7. The adjoining areas of South Interior Karnataka, Rayalaseema and Interior Tamil Nadu may also get to see scattered rains within the same time span.
Yesterday, the city observed 22 mm of rain, however, the overnight heavy rains have increased this figure to 61 mm in a span of just 24 hours. These rains have finally put an end to the city’s prolonged dry spell.
