After a rain-soaked first day of the much-anticipated Test match between India and New Zealand, the weather outlook for Day 2 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium suggests further potential disruptions due to persistent rainfall and overcast skies. 

As fans and teams eagerly await any prospect of play, AccuWeather.com has forecast a temperature of around 23°C, with a real feel of 24°C, and warns of increasingly unfavourable conditions as the day progresses.

According to the forecast, Day 2 may face significant interruptions due to a 41% chance of rain, along with a 25% chance of thunderstorms later in the afternoon. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an 'orange' alert for Bengaluru, indicating heavy rainfall and cautioning that the wet conditions could continue throughout the day.

Winds are expected to blow from the southwest at a speed of 19 km/h, with gusts reaching up to 32 km/h, potentially affecting the playing conditions even further. The thick cloud cover, anticipated to remain at 100%, could also pose visibility issues. 

Both teams, India and New Zealand, will have to remain on standby, prepared to take the field at any available opportunity.
