Heavy rain and flooding in Bengaluru has been predicted to continue for the next two days by the India Meteorological Department. Temperatures are expected to range between a maximum of 26°C and a minimum of 20°C during this time. The weather conditions have been attributed to a cyclonic circulation in the Bay of Bengal. Authorities have advised caution, particularly in areas that are prone to waterlogging.
