Warm weather has tightened its grip over Bangalore, putting its ‘pleasant city’ title in danger. On Wednesday, day temperatures soared to 35.2°C, making the weather quite hot as compared the standards of the garden city. The temperature was four degrees above the normal average day maximum of 30.7°C.
It is the second highest maximum temperature for the state capital since 2013. Prior to this, February 2016 saw day temperature of 35.5°C, which is the highest temperature in last 10 years.
Morning temperatures were also not much far as the city recorded above normal minimum temperature of 19.2°C today morning.
Warm inland winds continue to blow uninterrupted across the city. Besides this, clear sky conditions have further paved way for the rise in maximum temperatures.
According to Skymet Weather, no significant weather system has formed over or near Bangalore during the last few days that could change the wind pattern.
However, some relief is on cards for the city during the next 24 hours. A trough has formed along the West Coast, which is extending from Konkan region to Kerala. The system is likely to infuse moisture of over South Interior Karnataka including Bangalore, which will in result drop in maximum temperatures. But minimum temperatures will increase.
Bangalore is famous for pleasant weather conditions round the year. However, during the last couple of years, it is seen that temperatures have been settling on the higher side. This has put the ‘pleasant city’ title in danger.
