Amid Bengaluru's water crisis in decades and soaring temperatures reaching around 38°C, the once-praised 'Garden City' now faces unprecedented scrutiny and challenges.
Twitter users are expressing their frustrations, with many noting a surprising trend: Bengaluru, once known as the garden city, is now experiencing higher temperatures than both Delhi and Mumbai.
''How is Bangalore hotter than Mumbai and Delhi'' a user wrote on Platform 'X'.
The
heatwave
gripping Bengaluru has shattered previous temperature records, with the mercury edging closer to the April record of 39.2°C set back in 2016. This drastic rise in temperatures has caught many off guard, especially the millions of migrants who were drawn to the city from other Indian metros by the promise of better weather and quality of life.
The contrast between Bengaluru's current weather woes and its once-celebrated reputation as a haven for pleasant climates has fueled a renewed debate, particularly in comparison to Mumbai's humid summer. This has led to a surge in online discussions and memes, with social media platforms buzzing with commentary and comparisons.
Reaction on post:
One Twitter user remarked, "Because Delhi summers are transitioning from winters and Bangalore, where we never experience harsh winters, has transitioned to summers early. Check the weather in May; Bangalore will be chilling with light showers whereas Delhi will be hot."
Another user added, "Summer sets in early in BLR. Would have explained more, but I guess you won't get it."
Yet another user humorously commented, "Folks coming in from Delhi and Mumbai getting their hotness along.''
