A noticeable chill has descended upon Bengaluru as both daytime and nighttime temperatures have recorded a significant drop. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported this cooling trend from its three primary weather stations in the city.
IMD Stations Record Temperature Drop
The dip in the mercury was observed on January 8, 2026. Data collected by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) confirms that the decline affected both the maximum and minimum readings. This cooling pattern was consistent across the city's three main weather monitoring facilities operated by the national forecaster.
Rainfall Expected Later This Week
Residents can expect a continuation of this cooler weather, with the possibility of precipitation. The IMD has forecast light rain for Bengaluru on January 10 and 11. This anticipated shower is likely to maintain the current lower temperature levels and may enhance the wintry feel in the air.
Implications for Bengaluru Residents
The sudden change in weather serves as a reminder of the city's shifting climate patterns during this season. Citizens are advised to:
- Dress in warmer layers, especially during early mornings and late evenings.
- Be prepared for possible wet conditions and reduced visibility mid-week.
- Stay updated with the latest forecasts from the India Meteorological Department for any changes.
This period of cooler temperatures and expected rain offers a respite from the usual weather, marking a distinct seasonal shift for India's tech capital.
