Bengaluru Braces for Cool Spell as Cyclone Ditwah Brings Temperature Dip and Rain

BENGALURU: Bengaluru residents are pulling out their sweaters as temperatures dip below normal, marking an early onset of winter. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) recorded a minimum temperature of 16.1°C and a maximum of 25.2°C on Friday, 1.1°C and 2.2°C below the average for this time of year, respectively.

The unseasonably cool weather is attributed to Cyclone Ditwah, a cyclonic storm that has developed over the southwest Bay of Bengal and is impacting weather patterns across the region.

The IMD forecasts similar temperatures through Saturday, with cloudy skies expected. More significantly, the cyclone’s movement is likely to bring light to moderate rain or thundershowers to Bengaluru (Rural), Bengaluru (Urban), Chamarajanagara, Chikkaballapura, and other districts in south interior Karnataka over the coming week.

While the cloudy conditions have brought some relief from the heat, they have also led to a slight decline in air quality. The Air Quality Index (AQI) at the Central Silk Board station was recorded at 156 on Friday, a slight increase from 134 on Thursday, according to data from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB).

Residents are advised to stay updated on weather forecasts and take necessary precautions as the city experiences this early taste of winter.
