Moderate to heavy rains and thunderstorms are likely, particularly in the interior regions of Karnataka, until November 9th.

On Tuesday, some areas, such as Hennur, experienced slow-moving traffic due to waterlogging.

Bengaluru's Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) saw its wettest November day since November 3, 2015 when it received 95.3mm of rain, surpassing its November average of 64.5mm. The accumulated rainfall (ATR) is expected to reach 114.6mm on November 9, 1916.

IMD has predicted light to moderate showers in Bengaluru city on Tuesday and has placed Bengaluru, along with Shivamogga, Chamarajanagar, Chitradurga, Davangere, Gadag, Tumkuru, and Chikkaballapura districts, on yellow alert.

On Monday, heavy rain led to waterlogged roads, causing traffic disruptions in various parts of Bengaluru. The downpour resulted in extensive waterlogging on roads, leading to traffic congestion in multiple areas. Stranded commuters experienced significant delays in Shantinagar, Malleswaram, Mysore Bank, Town Hall, and other areas due to flooded streets and submerged underpasses, particularly after torrential rain. Autorickshaw drivers reported vehicle breakdowns while navigating waterlogged roads.
