Bengaluru and surrounding districts in Karnataka have experienced periods of heavy rainfall and flooding. In mid-September, intense precipitation led to significant waterlogging, infrastructure damage, and a wall collapse in the Domlur area that caused injuries and animal deaths. During this time, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert for several districts.

By early October, heavy rainfall continued to impact the region, with some areas recording high precipitation levels. Localized flooding and waterlogging persisted in neighborhoods such as Indiranagar, Hennur, and Doddanekundi, while fallen trees caused traffic disruptions. Authorities have indicated they are seeking permanent solutions for recurring waterlogging, including improvements to railway underpasses.
