May is the peak pre-Monsoon month for the capital city of Karnataka, Bengaluru. During this month, the city tends to witness 3-digit average rainfall. However, this time rainfall is on the lower side as the city has only managed to receive 42 mm of rain so far against its monthly actual of 107 mm.
Normally, during the second half of May, pre-Monsoon weather activities pick up pace in the city in association with Southwest Monsoon marking its onset over few parts of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. However, till now no major spell of rain has been witnessed by Bengaluru.
In fact, in the last few days mainly dry and hot weather conditions are being witnessed in Bengaluru and its adjoining areas. During the last 24 hours, similar weather conditions prevailed but few parts of the city witnessed very light patchy rain.
However, a rainy spell is approaching Bengaluru and its adjoining areas. We expect isolated patchy light rain and thundershower activities to occur in parts of Bengaluru today and tomorrow as well. And thereafter, these weather activities will pick up pace.
On May 23 and 24, widespread light to moderate rains with few heavy spells will lash most parts of Bengaluru. These rains may even lead to local flooding and traffic disruption in parts of the city. These pre-Monsoon weather activities will mostly take place during the latter half of the day.
In the wake of these rains, the maximum temperature of the city which is settling between 34 to 35 degree Celsius will drop by a degree or so, leading to pleasant weather conditions in Bengaluru.
