The IMD has predicted heavy rainfall accompanied by gusty winds, to moderate rainfall for the next three days across South Interior Karnataka, including Bengaluru city. It had issued a yellow alert for 11 districts, especially along the coast last week, predicting "heavy to very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall".

Meanwhile, 45mm of overnight rain flooded over 20 homes in BDA Layout, Kasturinagar, on Monday morning. The rain left main roads flooded, impacting traffic on Ramamurthy Nagar Road leading to Hoskote, and Veerasandra near Hosur Road early Monday morning. A tree was uprooted at NRI Layout in Ramamurthy Nagar.
