IMD Forecasts Rain in Bengaluru as Bay Depression Approaches Andhra Coast

The India Meteorological Department has forecast light to moderate rain or thundershowers, heavy at times, in Bengaluru over the next 24 hours. Scattered to isolated rainfall is expected across parts of South Interior Karnataka, including Bengaluru Urban and Rural districts, from October 26 to 31. The city will remain generally cloudy with temperatures around 27 degrees Celsius maximum and 21 degrees Celsius minimum.

The wet weather is driven by a depression over the Bay of Bengal that is expected to intensify into a very severe cyclonic storm. The weather system is projected to cross the Andhra Pradesh coast between Bapatla and Visakhapatnam by Wednesday forenoon, bringing maximum sustained wind speeds of 115-125 kmph.
