The state of Karnataka is set to experience a noticeable change in weather on Saturday, November 22, 2025, as the Northeast Monsoon shows signs of revival. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and regional forecasts, many parts of Coastal and South Interior Karnataka are likely to receive light to moderate rainfall, bringing a cool respite, while North Interior Karnataka remains mostly dry.
Bengaluru Outlook (The Garden City)
Residents of Bengaluru can expect generally cloudy skies with a likelihood of light rain or drizzle in some areas during the day. The city will feel characteristically cool for the season.
- Maximum Temperature: Around 28 c to 29 c
- Minimum Temperature: Around 19 c
- Conditions: Cloudy with a chance of light rain/showers, especially in the afternoon. Early morning fog is also likely in some parts.
Regional Weather Breakdown
The rainfall activity is concentrated in the southern and coastal regions, influenced by a weather system forming over the Bay of Bengal.
- Coastal Karnataka (Dakshina Kannada, Udupi): These districts are forecast to receive light to moderate rain. The Northeast Monsoon has become active here, ensuring a damp weekend.
- South Interior Karnataka (Kodagu, Mysuru, Chamarajanagar, Kolar, Mandya, Ramanagara): Scattered light to moderate rain and thundershowers are highly probable across this subdivision. The revival of the monsoon here is a key factor in the day's forecast.
- North Interior Karnataka (Kalaburagi, Vijayapura, Bidar, etc.): Districts in the northern interior region are expected to remain mostly dry with clear to partly cloudy skies. Temperatures here may be slightly warmer compared to the southern parts, continuing the dry winter trend.
The change in weather is primarily due to the likely formation of a Low-Pressure Area over the Southeast Bay of Bengal around November 22, which is expected to move west-northwestwards. This system is drawing moisture towards the peninsular coast, enhancing rainfall over Karnataka's eastern and southern subdivisions.
Citizens are advised to carry umbrellas, especially in the Southern and Coastal districts, and to be mindful of potentially reduced visibility due to fog in the early morning hours.
