Clear April day in bangalore

April 23 2012

Yet an other hot and sunny day. Quite normal for this time of the year. But where are the rains.
The day started out as a bright , warm day. At 9.00 am. It was clear and blue.
By 11.30 am, I could see white clouds scattered all over the sky. The climate turned partly clouds. Overall it was  cloudy and sultry. I was quite excited. All factors were predicting for an exciting  evening.

At 3.00 pm things turned slightly sour. Clear sky now. Some structures over south , south east. They are far  away. Lets check after an hour. Hopefully they need to gain some strength.

Boring Weather

Hmmm...we are at that time of the year when slowly winter starts vanishing and temperature starts rising. Personally , I am quite bored with this weather. Looking forward to rainy days from April.

April Rains of Bangalore

Wow! Its the most violent and potent rains that bangalore receives in the whole year. Nearly 15 to 20 cms of rain is received during the period. Rains come in from the East after 2 pm in the afternoon. Rains are accompanied with heavy lightning and thunder.
