Bengaluru is set to experience light to moderate rain on May 28, accompanied by cool temperatures near 26°C and winds, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The city’s minimum temperature is expected to hover around 20°C, providing relief from the usual heat.

The IMD forecast highlights that while Bengaluru will see moderate rainfall, other parts of Karnataka, including Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, and Uttara Kannada districts, are likely to face heavier precipitation. These areas may experience heavy to extremely heavy rain with sustained winds of 40-50 kmph, raising concerns about localized flooding and disruptions.

This weather pattern is part of the broader southwest monsoon activity, which the IMD projects to be around 106 percent of the Long Period Average (LPA) for the country, with a margin of error of ±4 percent. This suggests a generally robust monsoon season ahead.

“Bengaluru is likely to see cloudy conditions with light to moderate rain accompanied by winds on Wednesday,” the IMD stated, emphasizing the cooler and wetter conditions expected.

Residents are advised to prepare for wet weather and possible wind gusts, especially in coastal Karnataka where the rainfall intensity will be higher. The forecast underscores the importance of monitoring weather updates as the monsoon progresses.

Overall, the May 28 forecast indicates a shift towards cooler, wetter weather in Bengaluru, contrasting with the typically hot pre-monsoon period, while signaling significant rainfall in other parts of the state.
