Residents of Bengaluru are already experiencing summer-like heat, even though the season officially begins in March. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the city recorded a high temperature of 33.2 degrees Celsius and a low of 19.7 degrees Celsius on Sunday. With dry weather expected to continue, many locals are trying to stay hydrated and protected from the sun.
Unusual Heat in February
Many residents have noticed the early arrival of summer. Darshini, a college student, shared her experience: "Usually, winter ends after Shivaratri, making way for summer, but now February feels like peak summer. I avoid going out at noon due to the heat. If I must go out, I use sunscreen and carry an umbrella and water bottle."
This unexpected rise in temperature has caused people to change their daily routines to avoid the extreme heat.
Weather Predictions for Bengaluru
IMD officials predict that while Coastal Karnataka might receive light rain, Bengaluru itself will remain dry for the rest of the week. The forecast also mentions partly cloudy skies and early morning mist or fog in some areas until February 27.
The temperature is expected to stay around 33 degrees Celsius during the day and 19 degrees Celsius at night. This means hot days and warm nights ahead for Bengaluru residents.
How People Are Coping with the Heat
With rising temperatures, many people are taking steps to protect themselves from the heat. Common precautions include:
- Staying indoors during the hottest parts of the day
- Using sunscreen and carrying umbrellas when going out
- Drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated
- Wearing light, breathable clothing to stay cool
These small but important steps help people manage the heat and stay comfortable during the unusually warm February weather.
