Rain activity has picked up in Bengaluru since the beginning of May. The city recorded 7 mm of rainfall on May 1st, followed by a more significant 20 mm on May 2nd, as pre-monsoon conditions begin to strengthen.
These pre-monsoon showers and thunderstorms are expected to continue over parts of the city for the next 4 to 5 days, making weather a key factor in upcoming outdoor events.
One such event is the highly anticipated IPL 2025 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), scheduled for May 3rd at 7:30 PM at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
While there is a high probability of rain on May 3rd, the most likely window for showers appears to be between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM, before the match begins. As of now, no major weather disruption is expected during the game itself, though afternoon rainfall could affect pitch and ground conditions.
The overall weather is expected to remain pleasant but cloudy during the evening hours. Temperature forecasts for the week suggest maximum temperatures around 33–34°C and minimums near 20–21°C, with intermittent afternoon rain likely on several days.
Cricket fans can hope for an uninterrupted match, but all eyes will remain on the skies leading up to game time.
