Bengaluru Weather Today

Why Bengaluru Is Seeing Above Normal Temperature?

Bengaluru is enduring hotter-than-usual weather this week, with little sign of relief before late April. While many parts of Karnataka saw pre-monsoon showers on Wednesday, April 22, the state capital stayed dry, and temperatures in the city stayed above seasonal levels both during the day and at night.

Urban heat islands develop when dense construction absorbs heat during the day and releases it slowly after sunset. Industrial areas like Peenya, dominated by large concrete sheds and corrugated roofs, and mixed-use corridors such as Nagawara-Hennur, with intense construction and busy junctions, store and re-radiate heat far more than greener or lake-side locations.
