Bengaluru Weather: As per the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Karnataka is expected to witness extreme weather conditions in the coming months. The state will face both intense heat and above-normal rainfall between March and May. Southern Karnataka, including Bengaluru, is likely to receive excess pre-monsoon showers, while northern regions, particularly Kalyana-Karnataka, could endure severe heatwave conditions lasting two to four days.
IMD Explains
As per IMD forecast, Bengaluru and other interior districts will receive 30-40 per cent more pre-monsoon rainfall between March and May, according to a TOI report.
"While coastal Karnataka and Malnad are likely to witness 50-60% excess summer showers, the interior districts such as Bengaluru are expected to get about 30-40 per cent excess pre-monsoon showers. Due to these showers, temperatures across south-interior Karnataka will be relatively normal, even though it may appear to be hot during daytime," IMD was quoted as saying by a TOI report.
Karnataka Weather
The northeastern districts of Karnataka will continue to experience hot and dry weather, with temperatures soaring between 43 degrees Celsius and 45 degrees Celsius in March. The IMD noted that while the heat will be at its peak in March, it may gradually ease in April and May, spreading more evenly across North Karnataka.
Bengaluru senior IMD scientist, CS Patil, stated that unlike last year, Bengaluru and nearby districts will see mostly normal temperatures this summer. However, the city’s urban heat-island effect could make the heat feel more.
