Bengaluru Weather and Rain Forecast
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has indicated that the maximum temperature in the city is expected to hover between 36°C and 37°C, with some areas potentially touching 38°C. This follows Tuesday’s record of 36.6°C, previously noted as the hottest day of 2026.
For the afternoon start, conditions will be exceptionally hot and dry. Fans and players alike are advised to stay hydrated, as humidity levels are forecast to remain low, at approximately 20 per cent.
While dry weather is expected to prevail across the majority of the city, meteorologists have not entirely ruled out the possibility of localised thundershower activity. These 'summer showers' are a common feature of Bengaluru’s climate in April but are typically isolated to specific pockets.
Current forecasts suggest that any rain is unlikely to cause a significant disruption to the 26th match of the season. However, the stadium’s advanced SubAir drainage system remains on standby to ensure a quick restart should a passing shower occur. Ahmedabad Weather and Rain Forecast for GT vs KKR IPL 2026 Match.
