Pune Records Minimal Rainfall as IMD Issues No Alerts
Bengaluru is set to experience light to moderate rainfall on Friday, October 3, 2025, accompanied by cloudy skies and gusty winds, according to the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC). Temperatures are expected to remain mild, ranging from 21°C in the early morning to 27°C in the afternoon, providing a temporary respite from the recent heatwave. Residents are advised to take precautions as rain may cause minor disruptions in traffic and local utilities.
Authorities reported that scattered to widespread moderate rain and isolated heavy showers with thunderstorms are likely across Karnataka until October 4. Strong winds are also expected, prompting officials to recommend that residents remain indoors when possible and secure weak tree branches and outdoor fixtures. Rainwater drainage should be closely monitored to prevent waterlogging in low-lying areas.
Air quality in Bengaluru remains favourable with an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 35, indicating good conditions for outdoor activity. Humidity levels are high at 87 per cent, which may enhance the feeling of dampness and cool the city’s urban environment. Health officials advise individuals with respiratory conditions to limit outdoor exposure during peak rainfall periods.The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has also issued a cautionary advisory, highlighting that temporary power disruptions are possible and minor traffic delays may occur on waterlogged roads. Residents are urged to maintain vigilance near water bodies and ensure proper protection against slippery surfaces.
Looking ahead, the weather on Saturday, October 4, 2025, is forecast to feature mild rain with slightly lower temperatures. Roads may remain slippery, and visibility could be reduced during heavy showers, requiring motorists to exercise caution. City officials emphasise the need for proactive urban management to ensure public safety and maintain efficient drainage systems in light of sustained rainfall.The ongoing weather patterns provide Bengaluru with a sustainable natural cooling effect, but city authorities continue to monitor rainfall activity closely to safeguard commuters, residents, and urban infrastructure. The combination of precipitation and cloudy skies is expected to last for the next few days, with rain intensity gradually reducing after October 4.This development underscores the importance of integrating weather-responsive planning into Bengaluru’s urban landscape, particularly in alignment with zero-carbon, sustainable, and equitable city initiatives.
