Bengaluru experienced back-to-back days (Sunday and Monday) with a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius in November, the highest for the month in the last 14 years.
According to India Meteorological Department (IMD) records, the previous high was 31.7 degrees Celsius, on November 28, 2002. On November 25 and 26, the maximum temperature was 31 degrees Celsius.
IMD-Bengaluru, director-in-charge, S M Methri told DH that this was an unusual phenomenon. He said that while local urbanisation and concretisation had little impact, the rise in temperatures is mostly because of lack of moisture in the northeasterly winds blowing towards south-interior Karnataka.
He explained that though winds are blowing from the north and northeast, they are not carrying any moisture. This is because the systems which are forming in the Indian Ocean and Myanmar, are not moving towards West Bengal, which should normally happen during the northeast monsoon season. It is because of this system that the temperatures are high during the day, he said.
