According to a report by the Economic Times, Prasad, a scientist at the IMD in Bengaluru pointed out that the city experienced very little rainfall in March due to the influence of El Nino, leading to a dry climate. On Saturday, the weather turned even hotter. Reports indicate that Bengaluru’s temperatures rose further in March, hitting 37 degrees Celsius on Saturday, surpassing Friday’s high of 36.6 degrees Celsius. This marks the highest temperature recorded in March in the last five years.
