Bengaluru Weather: As Bengaluru approaches the peak of summer, the city is expected to see more summer showers compared to previous years, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Weather officials attribute this shift to a rise in convectional rainfall, which occurs when warm, moist air ascends and cools, leading to cloud formation and precipitation.

This year, unlike the prolonged dry spells experienced in 2023, Karnataka is witnessing a significant increase in pre-monsoon rains. The Deccan Heralad report cited N Puviarasan, Head of the Bengaluru Met Centre, as stating that, "Due to this phenomenon, Bengaluru is seeing more summer rains this year."
