Heavy rain lashed parts of Bengaluru in the wee hours of Sunday (October 25, 2026), following light to moderate showers through the night.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light to moderate rain or thundershowers, heavy at times, in Bengaluru over the next 24 hours. The city is likely to remain generally cloudy, with a maximum temperature of 26 degree Celsius and a minimum of 21 degree Celsius. Light to moderate rain or thundershowers are also likely on Monday (October 26). This is due to a cyclone forming in Bay of Bengal, IMD said.

The weather system over the east-central Bay of Bengal and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal is likely to intensify into a depression and subsequently a deep depression before developing into a cyclonic storm over the west-central Bay of Bengal by the morning of October 26. It is likely to move west-northwestwards and reach the west-central Bay of Bengal off the Andhra Pradesh coast around the morning of October 28, the IMD said.

The city traffic police said that only intermittent drizzle had been reported until 11 p.m. on Saturday (October 24, 2026), and hence no traffic blocks or waterlogging reported.

The IMD has forecast light to moderate rain at a few places in Bengaluru Urban and Rural, Chamarajanagar, and other parts of South Interior Karnataka. Mainly dry weather is likely in Ballari, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Chikkaballapura, Mandya and Vijayanagara districts.
