City of Evening Rains

City of evening rainsYou also may have noticed this year on year. It’s a City of evening rains. In Bangalore it starts raining just after the sun set.  It happens very consistently. There must be a scientific reason for this recurring pattern. Do you have any theory ?

    yeah, it may be because of the lot of greenery around the place.

    There is no theory in here dude.. its plain common sense.. Rains dont want to bother the kids returning back from school and people going back home from offices.. you see, if it rains in peak hours, their clothes get dirty.. thats why in Metro’s, it rains after office hours…call me if you have further queries,..

    Hi Aru,
    Your obervation which is : In Bangalore it starts raining just after the sun set….is wrong..watch & observe this rainy season.. you will also get rain in day time also..May be you might have not come outside during day time as u may b working in office during day time when it was raining..

    Hmm…I have observed this trend atleast a decade ago and it seems that there appears to be a pattern. I am not aware of any scientific theory but maybe the Bergeron theory/process or Cloud condensation nuclei could be of some help. There is a higher chance of rain towards the end of the day (in this case evening) due to pollution that is built during the day.This pollution causes condensation nuclei to be built and inturn clouds and hence rain! Does this make sense? :0)

    Bergeron theory/process or Cloud condensation nuclei. This seems to be a reasonable explanation of why it is a metro phenomenon. Thx.

    After Bergeron theory, it’s the turn of Murphy’s law.

    Hey all! It’s evenin’ rains here in Trivandrum as well.
    I’m surprised no one blamed evening rains on GLOBAL WARMING!! - It’s the one thing that causes these climatic shifts!!
