A long spell of rain is about to begin in Bengaluru: Report
As the Navratri celebrations come to an end, Bengaluru has seen mild drizzles this week, indicating the beginning of what is predicted to be an extended period of rain. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted a rainy week as two significant weather systems in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea are expected to increase the amount of precipitation in the city and its environs.
The prognosis indicated that during the following four days, there will be sporadic heavy rainfall in the districts of Bengaluru Rural, Bengaluru Urban, Chikkaballapura, Chikamagalur, and Kolar. Bengaluru’s temperatures are predicted to drop, averaging between 25°C and 20°C throughout this time, and rain is predicted until Sunday, October 20.
State-wide weather
Furthermore, light to moderate rain is anticipated in Uttara Kannada, while isolated pockets of heavy rain and thundershowers are predicted in the Coastal Karnataka districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi.
Rainfall in South Interior Karnataka, which includes districts like Chamarajanagara, Kodagu, Mandya, and Mysuru, is expected to be sporadic and intense.
According to a Skymet assessment, there is a possibility of heavy rainfall on Wednesday and Thursday in South Interior Karnataka and Coastal Karnataka, which includes Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mandya, Mangaluru, and Karwar. After Friday, when the storm passes over the South Peninsula and heads into the Arabian Sea, better weather is predicted.
A trough from the core of a depression over the central Arabian Sea is expanding towards the Comorin region, with a cyclonic circulation across Tamil Nadu at altitudes between 3.1 km and 5.8 km above mean sea level, according to Dr. N Puviarasan, a scientist at IMD Bengaluru.
The districts of Chikkaballapura, Chikamagalur, Kolar, Bengaluru Rural, and Bengaluru Urban may all see sporadic, heavy rains during the next days.
Furthermore, by Wednesday, a low-pressure region over the southeast Bay of Bengal is predicted to strengthen and travel west-northwest toward the beaches of north Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and the neighboring state of south Andhra Pradesh. Another cyclonic circulation stretches up to 5.8 km above sea level across the west-central Bay of Bengal, off the coast of south Andhra Pradesh.
Furthermore, according to the Skymet data, a low-pressure region has developed over the Southeast Bay of Bengal as a result of cyclonic circulation. Over the course of the following day, this area is predicted to deepen into a depression.As it moves west-northwest toward Sri Lanka’s east coast, this storm may provide strong rainfall to Tamil Nadu’s and Andhra Pradesh’s coastal regions. The system is intensifying favorably due to favorable environmental conditions and sea surface temperatures, and it has the potential to become a tropical storm.
