Bengaluru and nearby areas in South Interior Karnataka are getting ready for heavy rain on December 2, 2024. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that this rain could be very intense and might cause some issues. This weather is mainly because of cyclone Fengal, which hit the Tamil Nadu coast on the night of November 30.
As for schools in Bengaluru, there hasn’t been any official announcement about closing them yet. For now, schools and colleges will be open as usual. Many people on social media are asking for schools to close. One concerned parent mentioned, “Why hasn’t the government declared a holiday for schools? It’s horrible weather.” Another user tweeted, “Please declare a holiday today for schools in Bengaluru. It’s raining a lot, and we’re scared to send our kids to school.”
The heavy rain in Bengaluru is linked to the cyclonic storm. According to the weather experts, this storm will move west-northwest and weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area over north interior Tamil Nadu within the next six hours. This low-pressure area will then move out to the Arabian Sea near the north Kerala-Karnataka coasts around December 3.
Kerala is also preparing for heavy rains. The IMD has warned that extremely heavy rainfall is expected in Kerala and Mahe, and they are advising people to stay safe. Besides Bengaluru, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Karaikal are also on alert for very heavy rainfall. The coastal areas of Karnataka and the Rayalaseema region are expected to receive heavy showers too.
