However, these are clips of relief after the massive heat they dwelled in for the last few days. Visuals from streets, parks and other places started taking the internet, where they are seen covered with hailstorms.

After weeks of relentless heat, Karnataka is finally seeing a shift in weather patterns. Bengaluru, usually known for its pleasant climate, recorded temperatures above normal this April, with highs crossing 36°C, while several northern regions endured extreme heat nearing 46°C. Dry winds and clear skies only worsened conditions, disrupting daily life and pushing up electricity demand.

The recent hailstorm signals the onset of pre-monsoon activity, bringing much-needed, though temporary, relief. The India Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for thunderstorms with gusty winds from April 29.

Rainfall over the next few hours could cool temperatures, but residents should remain cautious of lightning and sudden, intense weather changes typical of this seasonal transition.

RCB, meanwhile, has no match left in Bengaluru. On April 24, 2026, during the RCB vs Gujarat Titans match, over 240 CCTV cameras were disabled due to a payment dispute involving subcontracted workers.

For this, it was decided the remaining two home matches will be played in Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium in Raipur. Apart from that, RCB had four more away games to play.
