Imminent Weekend Weather in Bengaluru: IMD Anticipates Rain and Thunderstorms, Warns with Yellow Alert - Explore 7-Day Forecast Detail Here
Bengaluru, known for its relatively moderate climate, seems set to welcome the wet season earlier than usual this year. According to weather forecasts, the city is expected to experience increased precipitation throughout the day, with the highest likelihood coinciding with the evening of May 17, when an IPL match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is scheduled at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The weather pattern is attributed to a cyclonic circulation over the east-central Arabian Sea off the Karnataka coast. This circulation is expected to develop into a low-pressure area by May 22, potentially leading to more sustained rainfall in the coming weeks.
On May 17, the maximum temperature in Bengaluru is expected to reach 30°C, while the minimum temperature is anticipated to be 21°C. Isolated heavy rainfall is anticipated over South Interior Karnataka on May 18 and 19, with North Interior Karnataka experiencing heavy rainfall on May 19 and 20.
A yellow alert has been issued for Bengaluru due to the expected moderate to heavy thundershowers. Wind speeds reaching up to 50 km/h are expected in some areas, potentially leading to waterlogging and minor flooding in low-lying regions. Residents are advised to stay updated with local weather alerts and take necessary precautions, especially during thunderstorms.
It is recommended to avoid sheltering under trees during lightning, secure loose objects, and ensure proper drainage to prevent urban flooding. The IMD predicts widespread rainfall and gusty winds across Bengaluru and much of Karnataka, suggesting that the ongoing IPL match schedules may be affected in Bengaluru.
Looking ahead, the weather in Bengaluru and Karnataka in the weeks following the current date until May 22, 2025, is expected to have moderate rain and partly cloudy conditions with temperatures mostly around 22-27°C, humidity between 75-85%, and occasional steady moderate rain with winds ranging 9-16 km/h; nights remain around 21-23°C with partly cloudy skies.
The southwest monsoon is advancing further into the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, suggesting more sustained rainfall in the coming weeks. Northeast and South Peninsular India are expected to experience heavy rainfall with thunderstorms over the next few days.
