Rain in parts of south Karnataka; Bengaluru temperature may soar to 37°C

BENGALURU: There seems to be little relief for Bengalureans from summer heat even as parts of Tumakuru, Kodagu and Chitradurga in south interior Karnataka received rain on Sunday.

“There is little scope for rain in Bengaluru. There are chances of temperature touching 37°C in the next few days. The current maximum temperature is 35°C,” said an official from the meteorological centre said.



There were reports of hailstorm in parts of Kodagu. Some places in south interior Karnataka may get rain or thundershowers. “There is a likelihood of short spells of showers over Chitradurga, Kodagu, Tumakuru and Mysuru for the next two days. This is mainly due to local factors and the weather system as such is not favourable for widespread rainfall in the state. Dry weather is likely to prevail over coastal Karnataka and north interior Karnataka as usual,” said the official.

Some districts of north Karnataka have started breaking previous records of the maximum temperature this summer. On Sunday, Koppal recorded an all-time high temperature of 40.2°C for March. The figure surpassed the previous 39°C record on March 30-31, 2017.
