Bengaluru received 1615.2mm rainfall in 2017 (as of 14 October morning), surpassing the city's highest annual rainfall record of 1606.8mm in 2005. IMD-Bengaluru Director L Ramesh Babu said annual rainfall could be much higher as over two months are left in 2017. Read more!

Weather System
Bengaluru has been receiving record rainfall after 1990: IMD Official

A senior IMD official said Bengaluru is experiencing heavy rains due to a unique weather system. It's witnessing an extended south-west monsoon while the north-east monsoon is also arriving soon. He also added: "The combination of the weather system coupled by low-pressure situation created in the Arabian Sea is resulting in showers over interior Karnataka and Bengaluru falls in this region."

Quote
The heat island effect

The official stated: "One has to analyze the possible relation to climate change as extreme weather events are related to it. Bengaluru is a growing city and has been experiencing heat island effect which further results in rainfall after a prolonged harsh summer or dry-run."

Heavy Rains
Friday night showers wreak havoc, especially in west Bengaluru

Incessant rains on 13 October set the new rainfall record for Bengaluru, wreaking havoc. A priest and a mother-daughter duo were washed away while a couple died in a wall collapse. Karnataka BJP President Yeddyurappa and Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda visited the affected families. BJP announced Rs. 1L compensation for the families of the deceased and Rs. 50,000 to those injured critically.
