Refreshing Showers Bring Relief to Bengaluru, IMD Predicts More Rainfall Ahead
Bengaluru, April 3, 2025 – Bengaluru welcomed a pleasant morning as refreshing rains graced the city, offering respite from the summer heat. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert, forecasting thunderstorms with invigorating winds and cooler temperatures throughout the day.
City-Wide Rainfall Brings Cool Comfort
By 7:20 AM, vibrant showers blessed areas like Sadashivanagar and Seshadripuram, while gentler drizzles graced Malleswaram, Jalahalli, Mathikere, Peenya, R.T. Nagar, Mahalakshmi Layout, and Nandini Layout.

Residents in Peenya, Dasarahalli, and Hessarghatta awoke to soothing early morning showers, transforming the city into a cool, misty paradise.
Commuters Advised to Enjoy the Rain Safely
While the rains have revitalized Bengaluru’s atmosphere, some low-lying areas experienced temporary waterlogging. Authorities encourage commuters to embrace the weather mindfully, staying alert to occasional gusty winds and ensuring smooth travel during peak hours.
IMD Forecast: A Day of Natural Refreshment
The IMD predicts a delightful drop in temperatures by 3-4°C, with highs around 33°C and lows of 20°C. Humidity levels remain balanced at 54%, while brisk winds of 40-50 kmph add an exhilarating touch to the day.
Cyclone Brings Beneficial Rains to Karnataka
Meteorologists attribute this refreshing weather shift to a developing cyclone over the Bay of Bengal, creating a low-pressure system near Odisha. This natural phenomenon is expected to enhance rainfall across Karnataka, nourishing the region.
Coastal Karnataka may enjoy moderate showers, while North Interior Karnataka, including Belagavi, Dharwad, Haveri, and Gadag, could witness brisk winds and revitalizing rains. South Interior Karnataka, covering Chikkamagaluru, Shivamogga, and Kodagu, will also experience refreshing thunderstorms.
Weekend Forecast: More Rainy Delights
The IMD anticipates continued rainfall across Karnataka, with Bengaluru Rural, Ramanagara, and Kolar likely to receive moderate showers. Scattered thunderstorms may grace Mysuru, Mandya, and Chamarajanagar, ensuring a lush and vibrant weekend.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on weather advisories, relish the pleasant climate, and take simple precautions in low-lying areas. The IMD remains vigilant, ready to share further updates as nature unfolds its beauty.
