Key Highlights:
Monsoon Intensifies: The southwest monsoon arrived earlier than usual, covering Karnataka by May 26, well ahead of its typical June 10 onset.
Temperature Trends: Bengaluru recorded a maximum temperature of 31.1°C and a minimum of 20.9°C on June 4, both slightly below seasonal averages.
Humidity Levels: Morning humidity peaked at 90%, dropping to 73% by evening, making the weather feel damp and sticky.
Rain Forecast: Light showers are expected daily until June 8, with heavier rainfall predicted on June 9 and 10, signaling a stronger monsoon phase.
Impact on Residents: While the rain offers relief from the summer heat, commuters should prepare for waterlogged roads and traffic delays. Carrying an umbrella is highly recommended!
With the monsoon settling in, Bengaluru residents can expect cooler temperatures and frequent showers in the coming days. The IMD predicts normal to above-normal rainfall across Karnataka, ensuring a steady water supply and aiding agriculture.
