The next day's high temperature could be around 37 degrees Celsius in Bengaluru, which translates into a very hot day. The fast warming is one of the hottest days so far of the season, and will probably keep the city closer to summer heatwave conditions experienced at other parts of Karnataka during this time.
The weather predicts that the weather will do all of the heavy lifting, provided that all is to plan, the clear skies and high sunshine for most of the day will dominate the day, with the highs flowing higher. There will also be extremely hot weather for the residents today, the forecast also states.
Some coolness in the morning and evening hours in the early in and out can offer some comfort as a refreshing or just slightly cooler, though the daytime weather is still drier, but with a hotter and drier weather picture. The warming will come from hot, dry winds and no cloud cover around the area.
Urban heat island effect, less green cover and infrastructural development, and heavy city traffic are also exacerbating heat in Bengaluru. Traffic and density of buildings will likely make it feel warmer in some areas than the fringe. But there are encouraging signs of a brighter future.
Rainfall will begin arriving to the city next week, according to meteorological forecasts. Mild to moderate afternoon showers and cloudy skies will gradually cool temperatures and help manage the searing heat of the week. Such pre-monsoon showers are part of the climate at this time of year, and they most likely will keep the region cool, still if not cooler than it should already be.
The rain should help to freshen up our already dry air and replenish reservoirs in and around the city, which have been suffering from extremely long days. Officials advise people to be careful in a hot climate. Keeping hydrated, not getting in direct sunlight during the peak afternoon hours, and wearing light, breathable clothing can offer protection from heat-related illnesses.
Special care is therefore needed for children, the elderly, and those who already have medical situations. The heat will be pretty thick yet, when the rains of next week return, it will be no surprise that the climate has returned to the normal nice weather of Bengaluru, and the pleasant weather and relief will be regained for the people.
