Besides Bengaluru, coastal and central Karnataka will also get rain.
Officials in the Karnataka Disaster Management Department have warned of thunderstorms along with lightning and scattered rainfall in Bengaluru and rest of south interior Karnataka for the next two days. Thunderstorm activity accompanied with light to moderate rains is also forecast for isolated places in central and coastal Karnataka from Tuesday onwards. However, the northern part of the state is not expected to get any rainfall. At the same time, the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Management Centre has warned that maximum temperatures are likely to be above normal at many places in the state during the next 24 to 48 hours. A note from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) also said, “Thunderstorm with gusty winds speed reaching upto 30-40 kmph and lightning likely to occur at isolated places over Bangalore Rural, Bangalore Urban, Chikkamagaluru, Chamarajanagara, Chikkaballapura, Hassan, Kodagu, Kolar, Mandya, Mysuru, Shivamogga, Ramanagara and Tumakuru.” This comes after all five southern states in India were expected to receive rain and thunderstorms over the weekend due to the current western disturbance and ongoing moisture incursion from the Arabian Sea. Fishermen have been warned not to venture into the sea off the coasts of Karnataka, Kerala and Lakshadweep. For the period of May 13, 8:30 am to May 14, 8:30 am, Maddur in Mandya got the highest rainfall of 66mm. Anekal in Bengaluru Urban received the highest rainfall of 19.5mm rainfall in Bengaluru district for the same period. Many parts of south Bengaluru also saw close to 40mm of rain which resulted in inundation of streets and slowing down of traffic on Monday. BTM Layout was one such neighbourhood which was majorly affected. The waterlogging was so severe that Traffic Police closed down the 29th Main Road temporarily, both for vehicles and people on foot, fearing people might drown. Water entered homes in some low lying areas while basements of apartment complexes saw water entering parked cars. Other areas that were affected were Indiranagar, Kengeri, Koramangala and Kodichikkanahalli among others.
