Moderate rains lashed parts of the city on Sunday, May 12, bringing relief from the sweltering summer heat. Residents in some parts of the city noticed accompanying hailstones.
“It started raining at 4 p.m. and we were surprised to see hailstones in Girinagar. Downpour accompanied with heavy wind brought hailstones,” said Rajesh K., a resident. The hailstones were reported in Basavanagudi, Jayanagar, Tilaknagar, Hanumanthnagar and parts of south Bengaluru, according to residents.
Meanwhile, waterlogging was also reported in Bannerghatta Road, Jayanagar, Banashankari, and Arekere. This has also led to traffic snarls on this road particularly in the South Bengaluru area.
