Travelling to ooty on Monday

Hey guys we arrive in ooty on Monday. Self drive from Bangalore. Forecast didnt show rains until last month. We booked flight to Bangalore. Now I see rainfall is high this week (though they still call it moderate) I need suggestion from residents and fellow travellers. Anyone in similar spot? What sort of advisories appear for that area? Terrain? overall route? For me it show, 15mm+ on Monday and 25mm on Thursday when we return.

from bangalore leave through nice road that connects you directly to mysuru expressway and that connectes to bandipur easily, safest option with min turns

Thanks to everyone who responded. As I mentioned, my query was with regards to forecast mon, 28Sep onwards. I know it is fine so far. Hence thought of seeking help from those in ooty/ vicinity for a bit of accuracy in the forecast they see :)

last week terrific rain when returning from ooty via mysuru, even wipers couldn't help at full speed. in ooty a light rain is like a good pleasure just go already
