Bengaluru is experiencing an unusual weather pattern, with temperatures soaring above Delhi’s by almost 9 degrees. On Monday, February 17, Bengaluru recorded a high of 35.9°C, while Delhi remained cooler at 27°C. Summer in Bengaluru usually begins in early March, but this year, it’s expected to start around mid-February. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Bengaluru is likely to experience a hotter summer than Delhi this summer. IMD Director CS Patil has warned about heatwave conditions in districts like Kalaburagi. The heatwave is expected to impact northern and coastal regions of Karnataka, but there is no immediate threat of heatwaves in the city. However, the soaring temperatures are still a cause for concer as they deviate from Bengaluru’s usual weather patterns. This is not the first time Bengaluru has experienced such temperature spikes. The city has been consistently recording higher temperatures than Delhi in February for the past two years. The IMD’s prediction suggests that the city may continue to experience temperatures higher than Delhi.
