Bengaluru Records Above-Normal Temperatures Amid Monsoon Rain Deficit
Bengaluru is experiencing temperatures 3 to 4 degrees Celsius above normal due to a deficit in monsoon rainfall and reduced cloud cover. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported record highs, including 33.9°C at Kempegowda International Airport on September 13. Despite intermittent rain, daytime temperatures remain elevated, linked to poor monsoon conditions and changes in surface winds. Rainfall is expected to increase after mid-September, with heavier showers possible post-October 16 in Bengaluru and surrounding districts.
