Meteorological Department warns of hotter days ahead, above-normal temperatures in summer February is not yet over and the temperature in Bengaluru hit 34 degrees Celsius on Monday, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD). The weathermen say that the temperature is going to creep higher in the coming days. “The temperatures we have recorded over the last few days are above normal,” said officials from Meteorological department, confirming that summer is knocking on our doors.
SSM Gavaskar, a scientist from Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Center (KSNDMC), said that since Saturday, the temperature has been rising across Karnataka and beyond. Gavaskar said, “We are seeing above normal temperatures across the southern parts of the country, including in Bengaluru. On Monday, the day time temperature in Bengaluru climbed up to 33 degrees Celsius.”
“At night, the normal temperature now should be about 18 degree Celsius, but we have been seeing temperatures somewhere close to 19 to 20 degree Celsius. There is no wind either,” he added. Experts hold that the transition from winter to summer is usually hot. Gavaskar said, “But the temperature is on the higher side this time. We are seeing this pattern quite early, compared to previous years. However, year on year, this keeps changing and global warming is one of the several reasons behind this.” He also added that Bengaluru will probably experience above normal temperatures this summer too. Geetha Agnihotri, director of IMD Bengaluru said, “This time we are expecting higher temperatures in summer. The winter is almost gone and this time the temperature is a little higher for the time of the year. This kind of
heat is recorded only at the end of February.” As per the outlook for summer, she said, “Officially, summer starts from March 1, but this time, after February 15, we have recorded increased temperatures. This can be called the pre-monsoon
