Bangalore Yellow Alert and Extended Forecast

The IMD maintains a yellow alert for most districts in north interior Karnataka from September 11-14, predicting scattered to widespread moderate rain with isolated heavy rainfall. The alert covers districts including Bidar, Gulbarga, Raichur, Koppal, and surrounding areas.

Weather predictions for the coming days indicate:

• September 12: Scattered showers with high temperatures around 28°C

• September 13: Heavy rain patches with temperatures reaching 26°C

• September 14: Continued rainfall with isolated heavy showers across the state

• September 15: Widespread rain expected with moderate to heavy spells

Strong winds with speeds of 30-40 kmph are expected to accompany thunderstorms across south interior Karnataka, including Bangalore. The upper air cyclonic circulation over south Odisha and north coastal Andhra Pradesh continues to influence weather patterns.

Regional Impact and Advisories

The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre has issued warnings for scattered heavy rains accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds in the northern interior districts. Residents should prepare for potential waterlogging in traditional flood-prone areas, though major disruptions are not currently anticipated.

Temperature stability is expected with daytime highs remaining around 28-29°C and nighttime lows settling near 20-21°C throughout the forecast period. Humidity levels will stay between 65-85%, maintaining comfortable but slightly humid conditions.

The city's traffic authorities remain on standby for potential weather-related disruptions, though current rainfall intensity is expected to be manageable compared to previous heavy downpours that caused significant waterlogging.
