The cities may face risks of waterlogging and power cuts due to heavy rains, with temperatures dropping 2-3°C. Authorities have advised avoiding coastal areas and cautioned fishermen to limit their activities. Bangalore expect cloudy skies and a mild breeze (30°C max, 19°C min) with no heavy rain, but in vigilance.

According to IMD, from Nov 12 onward, Bengaluru may face isolated afternoon thundershowers, with cloud cover increasing mid-week as moisture rises. The city is expected to experience a mix of sun and clouds until Nov 16, and possible isolated storms on Nov 17–18. Patchy morning mist may form, clearing by mid-morning as temperatures climb, as per reports. 

Bengaluru air quality

Meanwhile, Bengaluru’s air quality is currently unhealthy, but the IMD predicts no severe spikes until mid-November. The weather department has advised vulnerable groups (children, the elderly, and those with respiratory issues) to track AQI hourly, especially during peak times. It is being said that the city may expect improvement by late November–December as temperatures rise and ventilation increases.  Earlier on Tuesday, the air quality improved slightly, with the AQI at 159 (unhealthy), down from mid-week peaks. PM2.5: 66 µg/m³, PM10: 94 µg/m³ show still unhealthy, but easing as the cold wave subsides.
