Bengaluru:

May is the most intense pre-Monsoon month for the city of Bengaluru. In fact, the second half of May is quite active rather than the fist half. Its been raining over Bengaluru since the last 4 days now. It is due to the trough in the Peninsular region which is also a semi-permanent feature. As per Skymet weather, Rains will pick up over the city from May 21, onward. By virtue of its location, as Bengaluru is a plateau region, its more prone to weather activities. Bengaluru is recording above normal temperatures, close to 35°C and has even crossed the 36-degree mark in the recent days.
