For weeks now, Bengaluru has been waking up to the same sky: grey, heavy with clouds, and stingy with sunlight. Pune and Shillong have seen similar stretches of dreary weather. This isn’t unusual for a monsoon season, but what makes 2025 remarkable is the sheer persistence of cloud cover.
Meteorological reports show Bengaluru clocking over 65 percent of days since June with dense cloudiness, Pune around 60 percent, and Shillong nearly 80 percent. The city that was once called the “Garden City” for its balance of rain and sun has, in effect, become a “No-Sun City.”
