    Bengaluru to get moderate rainfall over next 5 evenings

    Bengaluru will likely receive light to moderate rainfall for the next five evenings, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). 

    While the southwest monsoon has arrived in the city, the upcoming rainfall will be brought about by convective activity. This occurs when the maximum temperature stays higher than normal for several days. 

    Convective rainfall occurs when the sun’s energy heats the earth’s surface, causing water to evaporate. 

    On Tuesday, the IMD’s Bengaluru city weather recorded a maximum temperature of 31.5°C, two degrees above normal. The HAL airport recorded a maximum temperature of 30.8°C, one degree above normal. 

    A Prasad, who heads the IMD’s meteorological centre in Bengaluru, said Cyclone Biparjoy had delayed the southwest monsoon’s progress. “The monsoon is actually weak. It’s not as strong as it should be,” he told DH. The cyclone is dragging all the moisture content, he added.
