Bengaluru weather update: The city braces for cold wave as temperatures to dip to 10-12°C

Karnataka’s capital Bengaluru is all set to get colder in upcoming days. The city is ready for a chill as a cold wave from North India is expected to drop temperatures to 10-12°C in the coming days. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Bengaluru will experience maximum temperatures between 27°C and 29°C. The minimum temperatures will range from 15°C to 18°C from Tuesday to Friday.

With colder temperatures prevailing, the city's Air Quality Index (AQI) has been measured at 158, placing it in the moderate category. The IMD has advised sensitive groups, including children and those with respiratory issues, to restrict outdoor activities to reduce exposure to moderate air pollution, which may pose health risks.

This will also mark one of the city’s coldest winters in recent years. As of now, the temperature has already started to dip. The Bangaloreans are experiencing cooler weather, and further drops are forecasted by the weather department.

Bengaluru winter and health issues
One of the prime reasons for the cold days is the replenishment of local lakes, rivers, and dams following higher-than-usual rainfall this year. These water bodies are cooling the surrounding air. As temperatures dips, residents are also facing cold-related sickness, prompting health experts to issue precautionary advice.

As the city prepares for colder days, residents are advised to bundle up, especially during the early mornings and evenings when temperatures will be at their lowest. Ensuring a nutritious diet, staying hydrated, and looking after vulnerable family members are vital steps in managing the cold spell.

With temperatures falling and air quality fluctuating, Bengaluru is set for a winter that is expected to be unlike previous years. Weather and health experts urge the public to stay informed, take appropriate precautions, and stay warm to navigate the season safely and healthily.
