Parts of Mysuru city received moderate rainfall on Thursday (June 11) evening, bringing relief from the prevailing dry weather conditions.

The city centre, particularly localities around Ashoka Road and adjoining areas, witnessed steady showers. Rainwater accumulated on stretches of Bengaluru–Nilgiri Road near the Sub-Urban Bus Stand, leading to waterlogging and causing inconvenience to motorists, who had to navigate through inundated roads.

The rainfall came after a brief dry spell, although several areas, including Dattagalli, Ramakrishnanagar and surrounding localities, reportedly did not receive rain.

Residents of Udayagiri and nearby areas, however, experienced good rainfall, with showers continuing for nearly an hour and providing respite from the heat.
