Oh Dear, Here comes the Rain!


The thunderstorm season kicked off in Bangalore today with a heavy downpour in the city. Bangalore has an unusually long rainy season, with the pre-monsoon showers starting in mid-march and going on all the way till May. And Oh, incidentally, that’s exactly the IPL season. But wait, it gets better. It usually rains late-afternoon, between, oh, i don’t know… 6 and 8 PM?
We’ve written about it before, the IPL doesn’t seem to be scheduled in the right season. What is going to happen if games get rained out? It is not very clear what rules will be applied and what strategies teams will use. It looks like the weather report is also going to be a part of team strategy now!
