Bengaluru records wettest June day in 133 years; heavy rains wreak havoc in the city

Following a morning of extreme heat, heavy rain lashed Bengaluru on Sunday, with weather experts claiming it to be the heaviest downpour in a single day in June that the city has seen in 133 years.
Initial joy over the rain in Bengaluru was short-lived as widespread flooding was recorded in several low-lying areas. Streets and underpasses became inundated, disrupting traffic and entering homes, catching both residents and civic authorities off guard.

Trees fall, metro disrupted, power outages in many areas
As per reports, at least 128 tree falls were recorded in different parts of the city. More than 100 locations along arterial and ward roads experienced waterlogging. Power outages were also reported from many areas, officials said. Meanwhile, Namma Metro suspended train services between MG Road and Indiranagar after an uprooted tree fell on the tracks before the Trinity station.
