It has been lethargic monsoon so far in June. There are hopes of it reviving soon but not exactly when. The dry air from north and el-nino is showing their strength. The subdued rains of June seems to be precursor to deficient rainfall as predicted by MET department. Meanwhile, Bengaluru city is experiencing moderate rains this June intermittently. Nothing scary since city receives most rains during break monsoon or during pre/post monsoon periods. Overall, the figures are quite impressive.
One fine day, the city was baking in June which was unsual sight. Unusual due to weak monsoon conditions. Weak monsoon conditions generally trigger intense thunderstorms in city and thus hellping the local water bodies to flourish. This day same visuals were seen. The humid weather turned pitch-dark at 3:45PM and huge mass of cloud engulfed city. The energetic rain coupled with strong winds lasted for nearly 30mins. The rain gauge clocked at 30mm. That was huge respite that drought isn't nearby.
Post the rains, I witnessed shiny drops over the pots planted by bestie. The palak leaves and turmeric leaves were adorned with pearls of rain drops. That tempted me to capture few shots in macro mode which turned out pretty well. Here are few of those.

Could not take rain video due to incoming gusty winds.
