Welcome drizzle in some areas

Bangalore: After almost a month of scorching heat and dry weather, some parts of the city received the first drizzle on Monday. The weather was cloudy and temperature comparatively low since morning. But the welcome drops landed only around 8 pm. According to the meterological department, this is a temporary respite that will last till Tuesday. A trough of low pressure in the south-west bay off the Tamil Nadu coast was the reason for this pleasant change.It's moving towards the North. Only Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh are likely to get short showers.
"The temperature could be a little lower for a week here but it will be hot again after that. Spells of thunderstorms can be expected only in March-end or early April," said Met department director A Muthuchami.
