Bengaluru: The first summer showers hit some distant areas of Bengaluru on Friday evening, making it the first time it rained in the city since the first week of December.

Far-flung parts of Greater Bengaluru such as Kengeri on Mysore Road and Yelahanka received some rain, bringing respite from the summer heat.

Showers also hit parts of Bengaluru Rural district such as Nelamangala taluk.

However, most of the state capital was not as lucky as the maximum temperature hovered around 36.6 degrees Celsius on Friday.

Meanwhile, parts of Karnataka received heavy rain as forecast by the Meteorological Department.
