Bengaluru Weather: Bengaluru experienced a cool morning on Tuesday, with a temperature of 19 degrees C. The current temperature in the city is 29 degrees C, with a maximum of 33 degrees C. Relief from the rising temperatures is expected over the next 48 hours.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted light rainfall for Bengaluru over the next two to three days, although it won’t be widespread. Only a few areas will see the rain, but it should help cool things down a bit.
According to the IMD forecast, the city is likely to experience generally cloudy skies with light rain later in the day and on Wednesday.
The maximum temperature is expected to be around 33-34 degrees C, while the minimum temperature is forecast to be close to 20 degrees C. The chances of precipitation are expected to increase from 40 per cent during the day to 60 per cent at night.
Bengaluru typically experiences April as the hottest month of the year, which triggers afternoon and evening thunderstorms due to heat buildup during April and May.
