Bengaluru has now crossed its 30 April 1931 temperature record! A maximum temperature of 39.2-degrees celcius was recorded on Sunday by the meteorological department.

The temperature crossed the 38.3-degree mark, which was the highest recorded temperature in Bengaluru in 1931 in April. The city may lose the "pleasant weather" crown if this continues.

The city was crowned as "pleasant weather" because it was once bearable during summer but now became blazing hot. Days turned hotter, nights became uncomfortable. As per the prediction from the met department, for coming few days,  the maximum temperature would hover near the 38-degree mark. In the coming couple of days, Bengaluru may be affected by light thunderstorm activity.
