Temperatures are forecasted to range between 22°C and 29°C, while light breezes of up to 5.4 km/h and moderate humidity around 69% create comfortable yet slightly damp conditions.

Rainfall and weather conditions

The city is expected to receive 4.88 mm of rainfall today, with a 92% chance of rain throughout the day. Partly cloudy skies and intermittent showers may cause traffic delays, particularly in the afternoon. Residents are advised to carry umbrellas and plan travel accordingly.

According to the week-long outlook, Bengaluru will experience varying weather patterns:

Air quality concerns

Current air quality in Bengaluru is moderate, with an AQI of 81, up from 46 on October 3. Yesterday’s measurements showed PM2.5 at 37 µg/m³ and PM10 at 79 µg/m³, slightly above safe limits. Carbon monoxide levels reached 558 µg/m³, largely due to vehicle emissions.

Experts recommend that individuals with respiratory sensitivities, particularly in high-traffic areas, take precautions such as wearing masks. Today’s rain may help improve air quality by reducing particulate matter in the atmosphere.

With intermittent showers and moderate humidity, residents are advised to:

  • Carry umbrellas or raincoats when venturing outdoors.
  • Wear breathable clothing to stay comfortable in humid conditions.
  • Use masks in congested areas to protect against lingering air pollution.

Morning walks remain feasible, though caution is advised during periods of heavier rain.

Conclusion

Bengaluru’s weather for October 8 is a mix of light rain and moderate air quality, with improvements expected over the weekend. While residents may experience minor disruptions due to rainfall, the mild temperatures and scattered showers make the day manageable with proper precautions.
