Meteorological officials have warned of a heightened risk of heavy rainfall in Bangalore, citing recent shifts in regional weather patterns.
The Karnataka State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA) and the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) have issued an advisory for Bangalore, indicating a significant probability of intense rain showers over the next 48 hours.
The advisory points to an anomalous trough moving across the Deccan Plateau, which is expected to bring sustained precipitation and occasional thunderstorms, potentially disrupting traffic and outdoor activities.
Residents are urged to stay updated with real‑time forecasts, avoid low‑lying areas prone to waterlogging, and follow any instructions from local authorities. Authorities have readied emergency response teams and drainage crews to mitigate flooding.
The IMD noted that such pattern changes align with broader climatic trends observed across South India, though no immediate long‑term forecasts were altered.
