Bengaluru is likely to receive light to moderate rainfall in the next 48 hours, as per the Indian Meteorological Department. The Met department has alerted 14 districts in Karnataka, including Bengaluru Urban, Bengaluru Rural, Hassan, Kodagu and Kolar of rainfall.
India's Silicon Valley faced incessant rain last month, leading to widespread waterlogging and severe traffic congestion in several localities. Many citizens faced difficulties navigating through the city due to the downpour as several roads in Varthur, Hebbal, Kadubeesanahalli, and surrounding areas were water-logged.
IMD’s prediction:
In an announcement, the met department in Bengaluru said, “Light rain is very likely to occur at isolated places over Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru, Hassan, Mysuru, Chamarajanagar, Kolar, Mandya, Ramanagara, Bangalore Urban and Bangalore Rural districts. Dry weather is likely to prevail over the remaining districts of the State.”
Bengaluru weather forecast
The weather forecast for Friday predicts temperatures ranging from a low of 19.36°C to a high of 27.7°C. The relative humidity is expected to be 54%, with winds reaching speeds of 54 km/h.
When Manyata Tech Park turned into 'waterfall'
Last month Bengaluru’s infrastructure came under fire as heavy rains led to widespread flooding across the city, particularly affecting Manyata Tech Park. The 300-acre IT hub, a significant office complex in the region, was inundated with water following heavy rainfall. Social media exploded with videos showing the tech park submerged, with floodwaters cascading from walls like waterfalls.
Employees were advised to remain indoors as the internal roads and surrounding areas of the tech park were rendered impassable. One viral video, shared by Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy, showed cars struggling to move through the waterlogged streets while torrents of water flowed down from elevated areas, resembling waterfalls.
As Bengaluru braces for more rain in the coming days, calls for long-term improvements to the city’s infrastructure grow louder. Many have urged local authorities to invest in better flood management systems, particularly in vulnerable areas like Manyata Tech Park and other parts of the city located near lakes and water bodies.
