Heavy rainfall in Bengaluru
After a spell of dry weather, Bengaluru experienced resurgence of monsoon with heavy rainfall in several areas, especially in the East Zone and Yelahanka area on Monday.
The brief, yet heavy spell of rainfall led to waterlogging on major roads such as Kamaraj Road, as well as in low-lying areas of KR Puram and along the Kasturi Nagar down-ramp. However, the situation did not escalate and cause major traffic snarls.
According to the IMD’s Bengaluru city observatory, 1.9 mm of rainfall was recorded between 8.30 am and 8.30 pm. Both the HAL airport observatory and the Bengaluru Urban automatic weather station logged 2 mm during the same period.
