Monsoon onset has been declared over Karnataka. Barring few regions, there is no sign of monsoon-ish rains. The coast even though experienced heavy rain during onset for a day now silent with Sun peeping out. The MET department issued red alert for 3 days but hardly any rain fell over the region. Even though the wind speeds are high, the rainfall has been below 40mm over the region. Mostly El-nino is culprit swaying the monsoon moisture somewhere else. This year rainfall would be deficient as per IMD. Hopefully it turns false. Meanwhile after the onset, the monsoon is struggling to raise up. Its lethargic advancement is triggering fears among the crop growing community. The rainfall also hasn't been significant so far. The ghats are yet to experience monsoon like weather.
Meanwhile, the monsoon brings some of best rain shafts over Bengaluru lasting for few minutes during evening hours. I captured them alongside the gusty winds. The rain shaft was tempting to capture for which I climbed the overhead tank terrace. The overall pictures also turned out well.
The usual sign of no rain along the east direction. The isolated clouds stream sunlight only to limited region which is interesting to watch.
The rain shaft moved to further north-east and visuals of distant rain was visible from our terrace. No rains fell over our region.
