Bengaluru has welcomed intermittent rainfall over the past few days, providing much-needed relief to residents. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted partly cloudy skies with occasional spells of rain or thundershowers until May 12. The downpour has caused waterlogging in several parts of the city, including major thoroughfares such as Hebbal flyover and Maharani underpass. Due to strong gusts, many trees have fallen in areas like Jayamahal Road and Kathriguppe. Notably, this rainfall comes after Bengaluru experienced its driest April in 41 years, with no rainfall recorded throughout the month. Last month, the city endured its second-hottest day in April in at least 50 years, with temperatures reaching 38.5 degrees Celsius. Netizens took to social media to express their reactions to the rainfall, highlighting the contrast with the recent water shortage crisis and the challenges posed by waterlogging.
