Light showers returned to Bengaluru on 29 June 2026 after several days of bright sunshine, bringing relief to residents. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the city recorded 5.1 mm of rainfall between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm, while HAL Airport received only traces of rain during the same period.
Rainfall Details Across the City
The IMD data indicates that the rainfall was unevenly distributed, with some areas experiencing more significant precipitation than others. The city's main weather station recorded 5.1 mm, but HAL Airport, a key location in the eastern part of Bengaluru, saw negligible amounts. This suggests localized weather patterns influenced the showers.
Impact on Daily Life
The sudden return of rain after a dry spell caught many commuters off guard, leading to waterlogged roads in low-lying areas. However, the overall impact was moderate, with no major disruptions reported. The showers are expected to bring down temperatures slightly, offering a respite from the recent heat.
As of the latest update, no further heavy rainfall warnings have been issued for Bengaluru, but the IMD continues to monitor the situation. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather forecasts for the coming days.
