Good rains guarding B’lore

While Bangalore’s temperatures have been rising due to lack of rainfall and clouding, the Met Department source say temperatures will not go beyond 37.5 degrees Celsius. The vegetation cover is more due to copious rains this year compared with other years and most of the radiation will be absorbed by it, said Meteorological Department Director A Muthuchami.

The temperature recorded on Monday was 36 degrees Celsius, which is above normal temperature for April. However, this temperature has been recorded on several occasions, said Dr A Muthuchami.  The normal temperature for May is 32.7 degrees Celsius. Rainfall is expected in the next few days.
