Rain back in parts of Karnataka, may continue for next five days

Bengaluru, Nov 30: Just when Bengaluru thought it got a relief from incessant rain, parts of the State capital saw downpours resuming on Sunday.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department, such weather is likely to continue for the next five days.

An on-duty officer at the Met department said the City would experience moderate rainfall for the next four to five days. “We are not expecting heavy rain like what we had witnessed earlier this month,” the officer said. The month of November has been one of the wettest the City has seen for a long time.

The latest drizzles have been caused by the onset of Northeast Monsoon and formation of a low-pressure over the Bay of Bengal. “Generally cloudy sky. Rain or shower would occur.

Maximum and Minimum temperatures would be around 25 and 18 degree Celsius, respectively,” according to a Met department update.

However, the good news for those travelling during this time is that there would be not much fog in the City. It may be recalled that several flights were cancelled on Saturday because of a thick fog.

But the bad news for the citizens is that the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike’s attempts to fill the potholed roads might be disrupted by the rain.
