Bengaluru, India’s Silicon Valley, is set to experience a spell of rainfall next week, bringing much-needed relief to the city. According to forecasts from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC), southern interior and coastal Karnataka, including Bengaluru, is likely to receive showers. This is particularly significant as the city has yet to meet its average November rainfall levels.
Weather System to Pass Over Bengaluru
Meteorological models, such as the Global Forecast System (GFS), indicate that a weather system will pass directly over Bengaluru on Friday, November 29. This system is expected to create a wet spell stretching from the Nilgiris to the city, continuing through the Dakshina Kannada Ghats and eventually reaching the Arabian Sea. Rainfall is also forecasted for Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru, Udupi, and Dakshina Kannada on November 29 and 30.
While GFS predictions are not always entirely accurate, the forecast offers hope for a respite from the city’s dry spell. However, for regions like Kodagu and Karavali, which are still recovering from earlier heavy rains, the unseasonal showers may pose additional challenges.
Current Weather Conditions in Bengaluru
Bengaluru is currently experiencing temperatures between 16°C and 28°C, with moderate humidity at 49%. Winds from the northeast are blowing at 13 km/h. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is rated moderate at 99, indicating fair air quality.
KSNDMC reports suggest that scattered showers will affect southern interior, coastal, and hilly districts of Karnataka. However, the northern interior regions are expected to remain dry.
A Break in the Dry Spell
After a relatively dry November, the forecasted rainfall is expected to bring Bengaluru closer to its seasonal norms. Residents can anticipate a refreshing change in weather, although authorities are advising caution in vulnerable regions recovering from past flooding events.
