Hot spell in Bengaluru continues despite rain forecast
Dry winds and reduced moisture have contributed to warmer conditions across south and interior Karnataka, though official heat wave criteria remain unmet.
BENGALURU : Bengaluru continued to record above normal temperatures on Tuesday despite intermittent rain, with the city observatory recording a maximum of 32.1°C, 3.5°C above normal.
The reading came two days after the city recorded 32.6°C on September 13, while the Kempegowda International Airport observatory recorded 33.9°C on the same day, the highest September temperature in Bengaluru’s historical record.
The latest figures showed that rain has not brought about a sustained fall in daytime temperatures inside the city.
The India Meteorological Department’s Bengaluru forecast continued to indicate the possibility of rain or thundershowers towards the evening or night, while maximum temperatures are expected to remain around 32°C through the week.
