The city may witness light rainfall specifically on November 29 and 30, after which conditions are expected to stabilise from December 1 to 3. Humidity is also forecast to ease slightly toward the weekend.

Overall, Bengaluru, known as the Silicon Valley of India, will see calm and moderately cloudy conditions over the next week, with occasional drizzles but no severe weather alerts. Residents and travelers are advised to plan accordingly, especially during early morning hours when fog may impact visibility.
