When it will Rain??

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I recently got an offer and am planning to move to Gurgaon. I was trying to find an opportunity in Bangalore because I love this place, or maybe it’s just change I detest. But nothing worked out and here I am. 
Has anyone made the same move? Or maybe vice versa? Which place do you think is better and why?

"The extent of water surface in Bengaluru during 1973 was 2,324 hectares. Over the last 50 years, due to reckless concretization, the water surface has shrunk considerably. Of the remaining water bodies, 98% of lakes are encroached upon and 90% of them are fed with untreated sewage or industrial effluents. Naturally, this has impacted the recharge of the groundwater table as well," IISc's Prof TV Ramachandra had told TOI.

Bengaluru's severe water crisis and traffic congestion are prompting tech giants to consider relocating from the $245 billion IT hub. The city's civic challenges may impact India's IT industry landscape, compelling companies to explore emerging cities.

If they buiild more "lake-view" apartments, there will be no more lakes left, not that there are many left.

A well-marked low pressure area currently centered over the southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal poses a direct threat to Bangalore in the coming days. As of 1130 hours IST on October 15, 2024, meteorological data indicates a high probability of this system affecting our city. Here's what you need to know:

1. System Intensification:
The low pressure area is expected to intensify into a depression within the next 12 hours. This rapid development warrants close attention as it will likely influence the system's impact on inland areas, including Bangalore.

2. Projected Path:
The forecast track, clearly visible in the right-hand map, shows a west-northwestward movement. Critically, Bangalore falls within the green-shaded "cone of uncertainty," indicating a significant probability of direct impact.

3. Timing:
The system is projected to reach the coasts of north Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and adjoining south Andhra Pradesh by early morning of October 17th. Given Bangalore's geographic position relative to these areas, we can expect to feel the system's effects potentially starting late on October 16th, with peak impact likely on October 17th.

4. Potential Impacts:

 **Precipitation:** Expect substantial rainfall, potentially leading to urban flooding given Bangalore's topography and infrastructure.

 **Wind:** Increased wind speeds may affect city operations and outdoor activities.

**Temperature:** A likely drop in daytime temperatures due to increased cloud cover and precipitation.

5. Urban Considerations:
Bangalore's urban heat island effect and extensive paved surfaces may exacerbate flooding risks. The city's stormwater drainage system will be put to the test.

6. Broader Context:
While the Arabian Sea depression mentioned is moving away from the Indian subcontinent, its presence may indirectly influence overall atmospheric conditions, potentially intensifying the Bay of Bengal system's effects.

7. Uncertainty Factors:
The "cone of uncertainty" in the image underscores the inherent variability in weather system predictions. Residents should prepare for a range of scenarios within this cone.

“Bangalore water crisis”

Software Engineer

Its raining in Bangalore, makes me very happy lets go

It started to rain

BLR's rain pattern is so interesting, Instead of rains happening just 4 months in a year in plenty, it is spread across the year with December/January/February being the dry months it seems. 

But compared to these rainfall numbers, Mumbai and goa get like 40MM plus rainfall in just one month (July)

Bangalore receives lesser rain the whole year compared to Goa and Mumbai in just two months (June/July)

Why does Bengaluru electricity go even if some rains happen?

Also where does electric production happen in Bengaluru. I want to visit the place producing electricity.

Bengaluru Faces Severe Flooding Amid Heavy Rains

- rainfall has reduced
- > 70% lakes have dried up/covered up by builders
- its not even feb and there is shortage of water everywhere. There are people literally carrying jugs of water on their head like villages if you head out after evenings.
- brigade/sobha/prestige societies with flats > 1.5 cr have put out notices with water supply being cut for more than 6 hours everyday, wtf is Bangalore real estate really 
- water supply here was really bad initially ( hard water, polluted water) but the water shortage in feb only is really worrisome.

I want to understand homeowners/aspiring homeowners - how are you planning for this? Are You even worried about this?
Or even people thinking of settling long term in Bangalore, thoughts about this?
