Bengaluru witnessed widespread traffic congestion and waterlogging after evening showers on Sunday (June 14), with the city recording 14.5 mm of rainfall, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
While the rainfall brought temporary relief from warm weather conditions, it also once again exposed Bengaluru’s recurring urban flooding and traffic management challenges. Multiple roads and junctions saw water accumulation, resulting in long queues of vehicles and extended commute times during peak evening hours.
Several major stretches across the city reported slow-moving traffic as motorists navigated rain-affected roads. Motorists reported major delays as rainwater slowed traffic movement across several stretches. Many commuters also turned to social media to share visuals showing clogged roads, waterlogging, and extended traffic jams in different parts of Bengaluru.
The situation worsened after multiple vehicle breakdowns were reported at key locations. Authorities said both BMTC and KSRTC buses broke down on Bannerghatta Road, at Kamakshipalya, and near the IOC Junction. The incidents added to the existing traffic burden and further delayed movement across affected corridors.
Independent weather observer Namma Karnataka Weather shared an assessment for Monday’s conditions on X and noted that Sunday’s rainfall exceeded initial expectations.
The post stated, “Yesterday the rains were more intense than our initial expectations. The first spell at ~11.30am was as per the expectations. But the second spell at ~4.00PM was really strong and widespread.”
