This comes as a relief to many Bengaluru residents, who have endured severe flooding, power outages, and traffic disruptions due to the downpours. Last week, areas such as Kengeri, Bellandur, and Sarjapur saw significant waterlogging, with some localities left submerged. The city also witnessed the tragic deaths of eight people in Bengaluru building collapse tragedy following the relentless rains.

The shift in weather patterns signals a pause in the immediate threats posed by rain, although authorities continue to monitor areas prone to waterlogging and damage caused by the previous week’s rainfall. For now, Bengaluru looks forward to some stability, with a break in thunderstorms, though the city remains cautious ahead of November’s NEM season.
