Bengaluru weather today: Bangalore wakes up to chilly morning as light drizzle sweeps city. Check full seven-day IMD forecast

The weather in Bengaluru continues to remain cold as a sharp chill has tightened its grip across the Karnataka state. Bengaluru received a light drizzle on Sunday morning and on the other hand, parts of interior Karnataka and north Karnataka experienced severe cold wave conditions. The minimum temperature in Bengaluru has dropped to 14 degrees Celsius after a few parts of the city experienced light drizzle. The misty mornings and dry winds have added to the discomfort of Bengaluru residents over the past two days.

People of Bengaluru are likely to experience a cool and misty Sunday today as similar weather conditions persist on January 11, according to the latest forecast by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The city is expected to witness fog or mist during early morning hours, followed by a partly cloudy to generally overcast sky through the day. The maximum temperature is likely to hover around 26°C, while the minimum may settle near 16°C, keeping mornings and late evenings noticeably chilly.

Light rain likely in Bengaluru today

IMD officials say misty conditions have become typical for Bengaluru during the second week of January. While sunshine may appear briefly, persistent cloud cover is expected to limit daytime heating. Isolated light rain or drizzle are likely in some pockets of Bengaluru Urban and Rural districts, influenced by moisture influx from a system over the Bay of Bengal. Humidity levels might remain relatively high, hovering around 75% to 84%.
