Monsoon Diaries (09-August-2024) - Festival mood and brewing thunderstorm

09 August 2024

It's been massive gap of nearly 50 days since Bengaluru received significant rains. It's been drizzle or passing quick rains till now but nothing significant like above 10mm. This week is hope with dropping wind speeds, raising humidity. The only drawback heat wasn't increasing. The morning is cooler with significant wind. As day progressed, sun would pop up out providing some heat but not significant enough. The nights are slept without fans which means the heat factor is not helping rains. It's predicted to improve in couple of days which would help in significant rains over city.

Today is nagarapancgami. The sacred cobra is symbol of nature worship prominent in coastal karnataka. Wife prepared eeredde (steamed turmeric leaf pudding or arashina yele kadubu). That is the yummiest part of day and we ate 2-3 in numbers.






A short clip!


Part of daily routine, we went to terrace to dry clothes. The weather was hot and humid. But winds were still significant. Hope the situation would improve as day advances and provides much needed evening rains.





The evening was full of artistic clouds but no hint of thunderstorm yet. Good news was, heat was more and winds were still. There was hope for night rains.
