The city is preparing for misty mornings, cloudy skies and light rain on November 21 as temperatures dip across Karnataka. With fluctuating AQI levels, moderate winds and a chance of drizzle in several pockets, residents have been advised to step out with umbrellas and remain alert to changing weather conditions. Northern districts are expected to get significantly colder over the next 24 hours.
Cloudy skies and light rain forecast
Bengaluru will witness generally cloudy skies accompanied by light rainfall on November 21. Early morning fog and mist may form in low-lying areas, slightly affecting visibility for office-goers and school commuters. The weather office has cautioned citizens to be careful while driving on fog-covered stretches.
Many parts of the city may experience brief spells of drizzle during the morning and evening hours, making it advisable for residents to carry umbrellas and plan their travel accordingly.
Temperatures to remain cool
Temperatures in Bengaluru are expected to remain mild and comfortable. The minimum temperature is likely to hover around 19°C, while the maximum is expected to settle at 26°C.
Cloud cover and intermittent showers will contribute to the cool mornings and evenings. Daytime temperatures, however, will remain pleasant and suitable for outdoor activities. Light winds will continue through the day, adding to the chill in certain parts of the city.
Moderate air quality continues
Bengaluru’s air quality is likely to stay in the ‘moderate’ category, with the AQI ranging between 102 and 150. Gentle winds will help disperse pollutants, preventing conditions from deteriorating further.
Residents have been advised to keep track of weather alerts and stay updated on the city’s air quality, especially children, senior citizens and individuals with sensitivities to air pollution.
Northern Karnataka districts turn colder
Districts such as Kalaburagi, Bidar, Raichur and Koppal are expected to record a drop of 4–6°C. The sudden dip will make mornings and evenings noticeably colder for residents across these regions.
People living in these northern districts are advised to wear warm clothes during early hours and take precautions on wet or slippery roads as intermittent rainfall continues.
Rainfall across coastal and interior Karnataka
Moderate to heavy rainfall is likely in several southern interior and coastal districts of the state. Some regions may also witness thunderstorms, which could lead to temporary waterlogging, especially in low-lying areas and narrow streets.
Farmers have been advised to monitor their fields closely and take preventive measures to protect standing crops from excess moisture. Continued rainfall may affect harvest schedules in some pockets.
Conclusion
With Bengaluru and several parts of Karnataka entering a cooler, wetter phase, residents are encouraged to stay updated on local forecasts and remain cautious during early morning commutes. While the weather brings much-needed relief from dry conditions, fog, rainfall and fluctuating AQI levels call for extra preparedness over the next few days.
