Bengaluru has been experiencing significant rainfall, with 9 cm recorded in the 24 hours ending Sunday morning, marking the highest rainfall in South Interior Karnataka during this period.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts widespread rainfall across Karnataka, including Coastal, North Interior, and South Interior regions, from 20 to 25 September.

Impact & Risks

The ongoing heavy rainfall in Bengaluru and surrounding regions has the potential to disrupt daily life, including waterlogging and traffic delays. Coastal Karnataka, Konkan, and Goa are also expected to experience heavy rainfall, which may lead to localised flooding. The strengthening Bay of Bengal system poses risks of extremely heavy rainfall in south Odisha and north coastal Andhra Pradesh, increasing the likelihood of flash floods and landslides in vulnerable areas. Residents in these regions should remain vigilant.
