Bengaluru to see consistent rainfall this week
According to the IMD, Bengaluru and surrounding districts will see light to moderate rainfall every day till Friday, accompanied by gusty surface winds reaching speeds of 30-50 km/h. Daytime temperatures are expected to remain steady, hovering around 29-30 degrees Celsius, while nights will stay relatively cool at 20-21 degrees Celsius.

In its weather bulletin, KSNDMC confirmed that moderate to widespread rainfall is expected across Coastal and Malnad districts, with 'isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall' likely from July 16 onward. For interior regions, including Bengaluru, the forecast pointed to light to moderate rainfall, with no significant disruptions anticipated at present. While yellow alerts have been issued for parts of Coastal and South Interior Karnataka, there are no formal weather warnings for Bengaluru as of now, it said.
Till Wednesday, Bengaluru's weather is expected to follow a consistent pattern -- cloudy skies, moderate showers and gusty winds. While the IMD has forecast rain for Thursday and Friday, it has not issued any official alerts or warnings for these days. However, the city may continue to experience scattered showers during this period as well.
While Bengaluru is not under any weather alert, the weather agencies have advised residents to be cautious. The coastal belt of Karnataka is likely to see more intense rainfall activity starting Monday.

According to IMD Bhopal scientist Arun Sharma, a well-marked low-pressure system over northeast Rajasthan and northwest Madhya Pradesh, along with an active monsoon trough, is causing widespread rainfall. "Western MP districts like Ratlam, Mandsaur, and Neemuch will continue to receive heavy rain with thunderstorms and gusty winds on Tuesday. The activity will gradually shift eastwards from Wednesday," Sharma added. In Indore, overcast skies and forecast alerts failed to translate into significant rain, leaving residents concerned about the prolonged deficit as the core monsoon season progresses.
