This weather pattern will persist through October 5th and 6th, with temperatures gradually decreasing as the maximum drops from 32 degrees Celsius to 30 degrees Celsius and the minimum hovers around 20 degrees Celsius.

The week ahead promises a mix of cloudy skies and intermittent rain, providing some relief from the heat. Why is Bengaluru sizzling?Despite being in the post-monsoon period, temperatures across Karnataka are climbing. Officials from the weather department attribute this rise to a combination of limited rainfall, an extended dry spell, and clear skies, which have allowed heat to accumulate, as reported by the New Indian Express.CS Patil, the chief of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), indicated that the current heat levels are not unusual and have been observed in previous years, including last year. Driest Month RecordedIndia’s Silicon Valley is known for its pleasant weather and rainy days, but this year, the wettest month has now turned out to be one of the driest months for Bengaluru, with the city recording just 23.9 mm of rainfall, making it the second driest September ever, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
